Tweetdeck will no longer allow automated mass retweeting
STEPANAKERT, FEBRUARY 22, ARTSAKHPRESS:Twitter is making changes to Tweetdeck in an effort to fight spam, the company announced Wednesday, a possible major step toward eradicating the practice of "tweetdecking," in which mostly young users have made significant profits from selling retweets.
"To be clear: Twitter prohibits any attempt to use automation for the purposes of posting or disseminating spam, and such behavior may result in enforcement action," Yoel Roth, manager of trust and safety at Twitter, wrote in a blog post.
Roth also said the Tweetdeck changes were "an important step in ensuring we stay ahead of malicious activity targeting the crucial conversations taking place on Twitter — including elections in the United States and around the world."
