I paid for the blue check months ago. Last night, my Twitter broke. Any attempt by me to do anything at all on twitter, liking, commenting, etc, is blocked, with:
"This request looks like it might be automated. To protect our users from spam and other malicious activity, we can’t complete this action right now. Please try again later."
Obviously this isn't legitimate. I've never done anything remotely to get flagged as "automated". This is on desktop.
On mobile, I don't get this message. Instead, my posts/replies simply "fail to send". If I click to like someone's post, it looks like it works, but then if I refresh, it disappears.
Reddit thread of this happening to a lot of other people: https://old.reddit.com/r/Twitter/comments/14o8gl0/error_code/?sort=top
update: 11am PST started working again
update2: 1pm PST broken again
Something bad happened to my account on a website with billions of users, it's Elon's fault.
Yes, Elon just recently decided to fuck around with the code quite openly, & it broke for lots of people right around the same time. You can put 2 + 2 together.
