Good morning to my Twitter SPAM followers - is Twitter even trying to stop this?

Here are some of my SPAM followers from this morning ... again ... all pointing to blog.livedoor.jp addresses.  Twitter still does not seem willing or able to do anything about this.  Annoying.






I and others have written about this extensively and still no response or action from Twitter.

      Unfortunately I'm sure you're right. I deplore that "cynicism" rhymes quite often with "truth".

    I have a slightly different problem - I appear to have been assigned someone else's fake followers: http://wp.me/pf1R0-2ow

    Twitter clearly isn't interested in suspending these accounts, otherwise I wouldn't need to block them.
