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
Tell me you've never worked in tech without telling me you've never worked in tech.
Hell I've never worked as a software engineer and even I think it's absurd to think the owner of a multi-billion social media company is doing the anti-bot coding.
