Twitter has publicly admitted that the system has a bug that subjects the microblogging platform to a critical issue. In practice, due to this defect detected by the American company and which it is trying to remedy, some users may be deleted, against their will, from follower lists.

Twitter has also provided support for the “victims” of involuntary deletion and advised users to check their follower lists to see if the people known to the profile owner are still there.

Among the notable personalities affected by this bug is also the Labour MP Tom Watson, a heavy user of the world’s most popular microblogging platform, who publicly stated that he thought it was his own negligence rather than a Twitter problem.

After the problem of fake profiles and increasingly rising spam, here is a new headache within Twitter, a platform that is increasingly loved but equally attackable. After all, as we have also seen in the case of spam on Pinterest and false advertising campaigns, social platforms are well suited for these operations.

The strength comes from virality, which not only disseminates verified news but also hoaxes and spam. The latest identified critical issue within Twitter does not bode well for the microblogging platform, as it makes it too vulnerable in the eyes of everyone, sector operators, and simple users alike.

Twitter is a true work tool for many, but also a platform where news travels fast and it’s easy to stay updated. But not only that. On Twitter, you can also leave your thoughts but in a much more concise and, above all, less intrusive way, thanks to the 140 characters that limit its use. Will a bug make many users change their minds?
