Twitter: Repression and Exploitation

Author == SD 31 July 2009 11 Comments

I don’t really blame the scammers for filing false DMCA claims against me.  It’s an exploit that almost always works, so why not use it?  What are the chances that the crazy robot is a bored lawyer who is just itching to sue some idiot for exploiting the rules? 100% obviously.  Oops.  SaltyDroid v. Kilstein :: Could be a case, a comic book, or a wrestling match.  It’s got it all!

Also getting off free from blame, YouTube.  YouTube has the most reason to be touchy about copyright claims with billions of dollars worth of {waste of time} suits already piled up at the door.  When a false claim is filed with YouTube the video comes right down, but you receive instant notification.  The notification contains the name of person or company who filed the notice and points you toward clear instructions regarding counter notifications.  Of course, the instructions are scary and contain words like “perjury” and “subpoena,” but that’s not YouTube’s fault.

Twitter, on the other hand, has been an absolute speech repressing disgrace. When Twitter gets a false DMCA claim, they suspend your account without notice.  Not even some auto notification … just suspension and silence.  File a ticket with support, and that ticket is auto closed.  They make no effort to notify you of the false claim, or to explain your right to submit a counter notice.  Just suspension and incompetent silence.  And then this ::

Defamed

Delbius is in charge of not doing anything about spam, scams, or exploiters over at Twitter {great job so far!}.  She also has not the faintest idea how the DMCA works {clearly!}. NONE of the pages or links on my blog are in violation of copyright law.  NONE of them!  Read my article, or look it up.

In the future, I would think twice before publicly making definitive statements such as “Multiple updates were DMCA violations” :: Uhm, No.  NONE of the updates were DMCA violations.  And the link on Twitter is one stage further removed from the original source of non-infringement … so it’s not even a remotely close call.  Is she knowingly defaming me? Can it be possible that the person in charge of spam at Twitter doesn’t know the difference between a complaint and an actual violation?  Defamation or stupidity? Either/Or

Most distressingly :: This means that the head of Twitter Spam {and abuse} actually saw the complaint against the SaltyDroid … from InfoMastery … and it meant NOTHING to her.  She doesn’t know anything about Perry Belcher?  How is that possible? He has follow spammed more than 100,000 people. He sells a $3000 product which promises to generate massive wealth via Follow Spamming Twitter. While she is pressing the suspend button on my account :: A huge swarm of accounts came online {100s} all the with same logo, tweeting the same message about the glory of Perry Belcher’s new Follow Spamming Money System.  His actions are the LEAD cause of follow spam.

Let me make something crystal clear for you Twitter :: IT’S YOUR MESS THAT I’M CLEANING UP.  Perry Belcher, convicted last year of an atrocious fraud, exists because you have failed horribly.  You allowed him {and others like him} to start following people in mass :: Building false credibility with each click {/script}.  You did nothing. Once they had an insurmountable head start … you changed the rules to make the same exploit harder for new users.  That gave them a virtual monopoly over the Fake Twitter Cred :: And MILLIONS of dollars have been sucked from the poor and naive thanks to your inattention {or open disregard}.  You can see what they are doing just as easily as I can … and you do nothing.

Wake up! :: Put down your lattes :: Put your socks back on :: Spend a few minutes thinking about how grateful you are that your Mommy and Daddy were rich :: And then STOP letting your network be openly abused for disgustingly criminal purposes.  Your incompetence is making the whole Internet look bad.

    hear hear – am sorry you're suspended – Twitter letting those spammers in all the time is driving everyone nuts. Lots of people are locking their updates to keep them out, which defeats the whole Twitter ethos of open communications. I don't understand why Twitter won't do anything – multi level marketing is a rip off.

    I don't understand it either. Today Mike Young suggests that it might be about padding their numbers with an eye on a buyout or IPO. Cut out the scammers and their Minions :: Lose a big percentage of your FAKE user base.

    I hope that's not accurate, but it does fit in nicely with the sad history of humanity.

    Please learn how to punctuate. Alas, none of those self-acclaimed internet marketing "gurus" knows how to punctuate either.

    Very unbecoming of someone whose Twitter bio starts out with "Love the Lord." WWJD? Hypocrite.

    Oh no, I think my copyright has been violated!

    I feel I should have gone in stronger and let her off far too lightly but it's because I have no legal knowledge except for GPL. Had to google DMCA. Stop laughing.

    Oh, and cheers for the tweet, Josh. Maybe we could hook up sometime?

    You went at her plenty strong brother :: And I thank you!

    You got an employee of Twitter to openly acknowledge that she had seen my profile :: And my blog. You gave me a potential cause of action against their deep pockets … and you gave a gift to the smart class action attorney who can see the OBVIOUS negligence case representing all the people who've lost huge money in the past two years based on this clear, and open, confidence scam. Lots of fancy litigators I know aren't currently as busy as they'd like to be … hint hint.

    I can't recommend hooking up with Josh :: His bathing schedule is irregular.

    This Josh Boxer guy sounds like the Belcher himself! The phrase "broke ass" reminds me of a Belcher video I saw somewhere where he was referring to Salty and dropping the F bomb in it alot. ____Good news though, for all you Twitter people who missed out on Belcher's 3k package, one of his stupid – and I do mean literally stupid – proteges, Maria Andros, is spamming her "limited time – only 200 people accepted" social media program now using the same scarcity tactics. She's one of the BIG TWITTER users with followers. I've already received follow up emails within the day citing her servers have been overloaded and it's selling out fast. Umm…how do you have that problem with only 200 seats? ____Another Belcher friend and fellow scammer and spammer who's done deals with him is Carrie Wilkerson the barefoot executive. She's a big fat housewife in Texas with the mommy blogger Mary Kay following and a BIG TWITTER user and fan base. She's now moved on to holding a seminar with WEALTH COACH David Neagle of "Just Believe."____Salty, I really think you ought to start exposing more of Belcher's buddies in the scam game.

    MIke's post is excellent, actually, if rather worrying. I think commenter "Tom" may well be on the money when he talks about Twitter as a financial house of cards: the whole things is beginning to look like tulip mania, the South Sea Bubble and Amazing Mechanical Turk rolled into one.
