The team of the microblogging service Twitter started automatically block unverified accounts, for which the display name was changed to “Elon musk”.
Simply put, if a user of your Twitter account will decide to change the name to “Elon Musk”, this account will be automatically blocked. According to the representative of Twitter, the aim is to combat spam and fraud.
The team began to test new measures to deal with accounts that use terms associated with spam campaigns. Automation will help to reduce the number of countless bots “Ilonov of Moscow” imitating the famous founder of SpaceX and Tesla to take down unsuspecting Twitter users with spam under the guise of replies to their posts.
Such measures relate only to the unconfirmed accounts. Theoretically, you can first confirm the accuracy of the account and then change the name to “Elon musk”.
