Twitter seems to be cracking down on bot-like behavior. I recently had my twitter account suspended. It seems to be related to using the new function which suggests that you follow a group of related people with one click, e.g. digital artists. Seems I followed too many people in a short period of time. Make up your mind, Twitter , do you want me to follow people or not?

That's hilarious. That's literally bad-actor tools, asking you to use them, and then punishing you for it. I wonder if that tool is intentional bait. You don't actually know if Twitter itself is acting in good faith there, or if it's a trap: a tool seemingly made to help bot networks, but which would show Twitter exactly who fell for it and set up their bot networks with a few convenient (too convenient?) clicks. It's a very interesting question, what side Twitter is on. I'm guessing it's on Twitter's side and Twitter's side alone, much like Facebook. If you're a bad actor and they're 'helping' you, it may be a trap.
