Twitter Updates Security Policy to Combat Spam Tweets and 'Copypasta'

Twitter has updated security policies tocut down on duplicative tweets, often referred to as “copypasta.”

Twitter started cracking down on spammy tweetsin August 2020.

Tweets of existing tweets or copy-and-pasting of content combined with unique commentary aren’t considered copypasta, Twitter said.

An individual duplicative tweet wouldn’t result in suspension or expulsion from Twitter, the company said.

Those who think they’ve been wrongly penalized canreport the situationto Twitter for an appeal.
