The thing is that Twitter can detect bots very easily. They choose not to because they are desperate to keep their numbers up.

- simias 9y agoI'm not sure how that would work in the context of Twitter. Spoofing an email sender is trivial (well, it was before SPF, DKIM and friends). On Twitter the equivalent would be to make an account behave like a bot so that it got flagged but I don't see how you could do that without getting its credentials.
