Is @panopticons abusing the Terms of Service

I just noticed that the retweeting by the account in question is done using Twitterfeed, which has its own support forum here in GetSatisfaction.

Also, he lists all his Twitter accounts on his site:

The thing is, if he would just lock those account updates away then he can play with the streams till the cows come home. But hes crossing the streams and and thats not a good thing !

I never blocked Noah, nor have I spoken against him. Blocking panopticons because it is chewing up my RSS didn't help. RSS helps me keep track of @ replies I may have missed. I can't DM him now because he stopped following me, but I fear it will do no good anyway. This is the pain of early adoption. Twitter will have to do something about this kind of thing if they are going to sell the container or market otherwise to businesses.

We need to leave these sorts of things alone and stop this self-organized policing of Twitter that is highly suspect all on its own.

I have no idea what Panopticons is, why it follows and re-tweets me, or whether it is part of the same sort of secret police style reporting that @PurpleCar does with her @OddFollow and friends whose updates are "protected" only in a group different than hers (which is why she may not like it) or whether it's just some marketing hack scraping data or what it is. But I can't care.

Because the system gives us two tools: unfollow and block. Use them. Stop whining. Leave the system open.

Make an internal system to do group IMs in your own company if you need to chat among yourselves without other people, don't use Twitter. Yahoo Messenger with a group is also an option for those who get so flustered by other people on the Internet.

He (Noah David Simon (artist - http://www.simonstudio.com/ark/ ), son of Roger Hendricks Simon (acting coach - http://www.simonstudio.com/), brother of David Hendricks Simon (actor - http://www.simonstudio.com/daniel/ and @danielhsimon on Twitter) is clearly using a list of publicly available (ie: non-private) user rss feeds and retweeting them to an ever expanding list of user accounts. If one gets blocked he can easily activate another.

All accounts lead back to a Noah David Simon, who on his blog has an account of his 'bots' going wild [ http://simonstudiotheatre.blogspot.co... ]

I think 'white hat' hacking is commendable way to expose security and privacy holes in Twitter, but all I see is a black hat with loose marbles.

I recently took the decision to block all of noahdavidsimon's twitter accounts. He basically started coming across as a deranged stalker with fairly extreme rightwing views. When his various twitter accounts started crossposting ad infinitum, I blocked them all.

I think the guy is really just trying to mess with people's heads, and I'm simply not interested in his rubbish.

I would like to see twitter do something about the abusiveness inherent in the techniques he's been using to harass and spam people.

And I really don't want to be duped into being followed by this guy anymore. It's all just so unnecessary.

This man has emotional issues, in my opinion, and it would be in his and other Twitter users best interest to remove him completely from the service... it may be that he's trying to make a statement by mimicking/symbolising the common, but erroneous notion of Paranoid Schizophrenia via internet generated multiple personalities, or simply trying to make his behaviour look that way, when he is in fact, actually, quite rational. Whatever, he is highly motivated, more than ordinarily so, which suggests some current emotional issues..He's also comparing himself with God, Jesus, Satan, etc and trying to suggest he's very powerful, perhaps omnipotent..cannot be stopped.

This person is obviously thumbing his nose at Twitter and a whole bunch of fun Twitterers. Get him out of here!

I fail to see why his family members should have any bearing on judging his behaviour. Is this some kind of Kangaroo Court here run by village "elders" we didn't elect? What about due process?

I also fail to understand how judgements about the defendant's mental capacity or intentions can accurately be made remotely at a distance, without proper medical certification and a face-to-face examination.

I fail to see why somebody overcoming the fussy and school-marmy nature of some echo-chamber A-listers and social media power-marketers is necessarily a "black hat hacker". That is, my mind is definitely open on this, because I hate hacking and griefers, but I want to see what is "griefing" you unless your bitch is that your vanity feed about yourself is "messed up". Don't...have a vanity feed then? Just watch your own feed in real time, when you have the time, just unfollow people who annoy you, and block those who seem to chat at you so that at least in real time they can't see you (and would have to read a page, use the sort of techniques this guy is using, or use Tweetscan).

I'd like to hear a non-emotional, non-judgemental account, please of what it is that this guy does that really constitutes "spam," if you can just unfollow the accounts coming into your view? Awaiting...

RSS helps me keep track of @ replies I may have missed.

PurpleCar, what you mean to say is -- go ahead, it's ok, everybody does it -- you have a vanity feed. You have a vanity feed not just to "check @s I may have missed* but *to see what other people are saying about you*. Go on, admit it! It's ok! Everyone does it, dear.

Now, in that vanity feed, you apparently find that it burns your eyeballs to see somebody re-tweet your tweets, talk about you when you don't wish them to talk about you, and so on. I would say...let your eye just not fall on subject posts, and keep scrolling. Don't RSS your vanity feed in real time -- there's no objective need for that, say, even if you are running a nerve-pulse Internet Twitter Social Media News Aggregation Hub like Steve Gillmor! Get an intern to watch it, if you are the irritable type : )

Whenever I see panopticons on my Tweetscan view of my vanity need to see my name and the "@s I missed" (i.e. what people are saying about me : )
I just skip over him. He's retweeting me. God knows why. I don't care about him : )

Employees of Twitter watching! I hope your founder of Armenian heritage (if I have understood correctly) will ponder the roots of the police state, which the Armenian people know all too well from their mistreatment at the hands of Turkey and the Soviet Union, and think about the ramifications of caving to self-policing KGB-style police informants cropping up on Twitter.

If you need to cave to A-list bloggers and influencers and power mommybloggers and marketing mavens and such due to your VC capital tie-ins, we understand, but say so. Say that's what you're doing, so we get it, and the social demand for a free public conversation space can move elsewhere to another platform or group of more free minded developers.

Please don't be hasty about putting in the controls these people are asking for -- based on hysterical notions of their reading -- over the Internet (?!) of someone's mental state, their family origins, their possible intent, etc.

And think about the high-level implications of anything that makes people be able to control their vanity feeds in the granularity they wish *if they are influencers and aggregators*.

The control of track on vanity feeds and the control of re-tweeting and following people who "don't want to be followed by you" all have to be seen not as a mere end-user problem, but a high-level system problem when it becomes to create a very powerful group of power users of Twitter who then decide who gets to follow or dissent or talk about them and who gets scrubbed from their influential top-level view.

You have many competing interests to satisfy on Twitter. Try to keep a balance and keep the system open, and urge people to use just unfollow/block and not fuss about their vanity feeds. Let them put deletion/banning/muting controls on their vanity feeds within their personal Gmail, Google-reader, or other third-party aps rather than to make it possible within the Twitter system, with Twitter commands, and as a build-in to any use of Twitter by third-party APIs.

If that's a contradiction in terms, ask them to be less fussy about their vanity feeds : )

Set the tone : )

One doesn't need a degree in psychiatry to try understand and comment on the behaviour and apparent motivation of a user; I wasn't attempting to make any kind of clinical judgement, in my previous comment, but simply expressing a point of view on his motivation and modus operandi, one based on what I have seen and read in the Twitter stream, and in some of his other online meanderings.

There is neither a technical reason for my complaint about this individual's behaviour, nor any consideration of vanity, though both of those are actually, not unreasonable, and, certainly harmless. The same cannot be said of the behaviour of this individual.

For myself, it is simply that I do not wish to have an otherwise enjoyable experience ruined by one person being abusive, in very graphic terms, to me and to my friends, making obscene comments and intimidatory remarks, some of which I consider to be, certainly, threatening, and some to border on the pornographic. All the nonesense he spouts is unecessary and unpleasant, and I, for one, have had enough of it.

Yes, I can unfollow, I can block, and I can be smug, self satisfied in my 'reasonable' tolerance of an occasional errant user and leave the abuse for others to tolerate. Alternatively, I can add my voice to those who strongly object to repeated innapropriate use of foul language and personal abuse in a social media platform, such as Twitter.

It is the second of these alternatives I chose. Consider my voice, unrepentantly, so added.

Hiya Prokofy...

I empathise with your concern about the 'big brother' 'authoritarian' issues raised by this entire thread.

At the same time, your argument is all about the 'vanity' aspect of the complaint. And I don't think that adequately refutes what's happening here.

If it were a simple matter of just 'blocking' this dude (noahdavidsimon and his host of aliases), then you'd be right.

But the issue is that he keeps creating new aliases, which he then follows people with for some unknown reason (or, unknown to me, probably known to himself).

When he's following someone, who the heck knows what he's doing with the tweets he's gathering from those follows?

What's more, he's also got a Facebook presence. And I know of at least one person who has 'friended' me on Facebook that could actually be him. He's not confining his Twitter activities to Twitter. He's spreading them out to other social networks.

This guy has an agenda. I don't know what that agenda is.

All I can do is observe his behaviour, and draw conclusions from that. And based on the observed behaviour, it's reasonable for Tindle to have drawn the conclusions he's drawn. There MIGHT be psychiatric or psychological issues. There MIGHT be some sort of art project on the go. There MIGHT be a whole host of benign or maleficent things happening.

I prefer to err on the side of caution. Right now, noahdavidsimon is giving me NO reason to believe that his actions are benign. His actions from my point of view are stalkerish and malign.

The existence of this thread indicates that others are interpreting his behaviour in ways similar to my own interpretation. If this guy's just yanking our chains, that's one thing. If he's a malign presence out to harm a person or people, then we need to be cognisant of that.

I am deeply uncomfortable with his unchecked presence on a social networking site where vast amounts of personal data are available for him to exploit. And I'm deeply uncomfortable that the Twitter owners are doing nothing to curb an overtly malicious campaign.

Your response seems to me to come from a place that finds authority to be oppressive. Which makes some of your rhetoric understandable. At the same time, I would expect you to have some insight into how this single individual's behaviour can actually come across as repugnant and dangerous.

Thanks for hearing my point of view.

Oh... one thing... speaking out against bad behaviour does not make a person authoritarian, regime-supporting, a snitch. It makes a person someone willing to stand up and be counted.

Just as you're standing up and being counted in your countering of the case against noahdavidsimon, I'm standing up and being counted in baring my own insights and opinions.

In the end, I'm thankful to be part of a community that allows diverse points of view to be aired.

I read the guy's site, and I fail to see why following people and retweeting them, unless it's in some huge massive amounts of spam, is the problem everyone thinks. I see him in my feed, and I merely skip over him.

I understand he's doing something to "play with" Twitter, but I fail to see the problem, and think this is more about the issue of others wishing to control usage and control expression.

Roy, first, you have to persuade me that the behaviour is bad. I'm not persuaded. That's what due process in a democratic society *is*. If you expect me to believe that "just because you say so" and "don't you know who I am?!" then you are playing into the characteristics of an authoritarian society.

If someone is following you with various aliases and it bothers you, ignore him? I find that with griefers, logging off, not giving them attention, not festering about it can be one kind of tool.

Publicizing their bad behaviour is an equally valid tactic, I'm all for that. But you fail to persuade me that seeing a few re-tweets or even 50 re-tweets is the problem you claim it to be.

If someone you don't know or suspect is a stalker is trying to "friend" you on Facebook, why can't you just say "no"?

See, it's this idea that you can cede power to this anonymous griefer that's annoying. You can ignore him. Not follow him. Block him and his aliases, and also just not friend him on Facebook and move on.

I fail to see how this individual is "dangerous" and "repugnant". Maybe that's because he's following and re-tweeting me, and I see him clutter up my vanity feed now and then, but I *just ignore him* Lots of people re-tweet. The ability to re-tweet shouldn't be killed over this.

Again, you can only know this guy is doing this *if you follow your vanity feed*. Can you concede that? Is there something I'm not getting here?

If you are uncomfortable with a social network where vast amounts of personal data are available, then leave it. I think that's a given these days. That's why it's a good idea not to give out your personal info. If you work site as a marketer or contractor has to give out a lot of this and you feel uncomfortable having critical eyes on it, then don't participate and use YMs for your friends. You can't advertise -- and yet also not expect criticism.

I don't find authority "oppressive" -- that would be silly. Authority is a good thing when it operates under the rule of law. You aren't doing that, when you set up yourself or other arbiters of what is "right" on social media as the authority. I don't accept you because you aren't making your case.

Kosso, it seems to me that because you engaged repeatedly with this individual, you can expect that he will now target you. Surprised? I know what that's like. But then be prepared for the consequences. Don't whine. Can you give me a URL to his "hurtful" tweets so I can understand what you are saying and whether it has merit?

Ultimately, I think the guy is doing a kind of conceptual art statement about the propensity of so many smarm marms on here to block people whose ideas they don't like, or block people on the bases of various hysterical prejudices, instead of just scrolling past them.

I imagine there is far too much blocking on Twitter. The way I can tell that is that @techcrunch, a Twitter A-lister and all round Internet A-lister, blocks his fellow A-listers if they criticize him. He blocks me if I criticize him in a few lines, with nothing like the techniques, spam, or comments that you ascribe to this Panopticons fellow.

Before Twitter imposed the 250/week sms limit for non-US users (like me), I had device notifications on for most of the people I was following, and was easily receiving 80+ sms messages every hour.

Now that I'm only allowed 250 sms messages per week, I had no choice but to turn off sms notifications for the vast majority of the people I follow... which is why I began to rely heavily on Twitter's Track feature to track my username.

Sure, it's possible to get @replies via RSS and I can use the Replies tab to make sure I don't miss any... but I'd have to be online first to see them. I like Track because I get the notifications via sms in real-time when I'm offline, and I can respond immediately from my phone if the message happens to be time-sensitive.

Anyway, starting today, it appears that every tweet I send is now echoed by two of his accounts (i.e., @panopticons and @noahdavidsimon) even though I don't block either of those accounts. Unfortunately, this means that I receive two copies via sms of each tweet I send, and this therefore eats up 2 of my already very limited sms credits each time.

Similarly, every time he echoes other Twitter users who send me @replies, I also get multiple copies of those messages, since the echoed tweets also contain my username.

Obviously, I'm very unhappy about this state of affairs because it means that I will eventually be forced to stop tracking my username just to save my sms credits.

I'm therefore in agreement with @loudmouthman -- I wouldn't mind the multiple retweeting if his puppet accounts were simply tagged as private and therefore don't show up in my Track alerts and eat up my sms credits. He still gets to do what he wants, without impairing my ability to do what I want.

If his intent is to follow people who have blocked him, IMHO he can do so more efficiently and less intrusively by simply subscribing to the RSS feeds of all those accounts using Google Reader or a similar application. In fact, he'd have better access to people's tweets that way, since there's a limit to the number of updates that Twitterfeed posts into Twitter every time it checks for updates. I'm fairly certain that he's not getting every tweet from high-volume tweeters due to this limitation.

Anyway, due to these recent developments, I am now, more than ever, looking forward to the day when Track is updated so I don't receive track alerts from accounts that I've blocked... and yes, this means that when Track finally recognizes blocks, I will be blocking accounts that echo tweets.

I'm failing to understand why all of Twitter has to adapt to your phonebill problems of limitations on SMS. Don't track *yourself* if this is the problem. Then your feed contains only people talking to you normally, not your obsession about what they are saying to you. Worried about missing some @s in the stream? Well, people just talk enormous amounts on Twitter, and they can't expect it to serve as a real communications device for urgent matters. If someone has to tell you to get home because your children are burning, I hope they'll use your cell phone *itself* rather than the twitter function on it.

There's another simple solution there: stop trying to get Twitter on your phone. Just read it on the web. Use tweetscan to catch up on vanity feeds.

If you're a fireman, you don't *really* need Twitter as you have your own internal communications. If you are otherwise a very busy and important person, and Twitter doesn't work for you in vanity-feed mode, due to this person following you, use AIM or YM with just a group you've selected to hear from. Wait for awhile, the person will grow bored and you may be able to start again.

I don't use Twitter on my mobile precisely because it's a firehose of messages, most of it noise, even from those I *wish* to follow. I tune in on the web; I also tune into the vanity feed as needed through www.tweetscan.com

It sounds to me like you're another avid vanity-feed reader that is trying to find a way to sound like your vanity-feed isn't what it is, but something else.

Making up a doctor's excuse and crying poor about limitation of non-US users -- just not a persuasive argument, sorry.

Also, point of information: if you block those two accounts...they...won't show up in your feed on your mobile. So...block them? And then they won't be charged as messages. Correct me if I haven't understood something mechanically here.

If you stop following your vanity feed, your problem will be solved. Live in the moment. Hear what people are doing *right now*. Talk to them *right now*. It's the vanity feed that is the problem.

@Prokofy

1. You said: "I'm failing to understand why all of Twitter has to adapt to your phonebill problems"

It's not my phone bill problem -- it costs me nothing to receive sms messages from Twitter. Twitter set the limit.

2. You said: "stop trying to get Twitter on your phone. Just read it on the web."

I don't see why I have to receive my tweets the way you want to receive your tweets. Don't I have a right to choose how I want to receive the information?

Twitter made it possible for its users to receive tweets by phone. Why must I limit myself to the mechanisms that you deem to be appropriate for yourself?

3. You said: "It sounds to me like you're another avid vanity-feed reader that is trying to find a way to sound like your vanity-feed isn't what it is, but something else."

You're entitled to your opinion.

Here's mine: It sounds to me like you're trying to impose your own values and belief system on other people. I'm failing to understand why all of Twitter has to use Twitter the way you use Twitter.

4. You said: "Also, point of information: if you block those two accounts... they... won't show up in your feed on your mobile. So... block them?"

I take it you didn't read my entire reply because I already said that Track doesn't recognize Blocks.

Heck, I even linked to a thread in this forum where other people have already tried Blocking as a way to stop receiving tracks alerts from specific accounts and it doesn't work. Here is that link again for your convenience.

If blocking those accounts would stop me from receiving Track alerts from them, I would have already done so and wouldn't bother posting here to object to them.

5. You said: "Live in the moment. Hear what people are doing *right now*. Talk to them *right now*. "

That is precisely what I am trying to do by tracking my username and receiving the tweets via sms in real-time. I want to receive @replies to me *right now* so I can respond and talk to the senders *right now*.

Hiya Prokofy...

It appears as though you 'fail to understand' a great deal of things you read.

I will no longer be reading your responses, nor, as a consequent by-product of not reading your responses, will I be responding either.

I believe you're simply trolling. And if there were a moderator on this forum, you'd probably have been banned from the thread two responses ago.

Seriously, I find the readiness with which some of the very overbearing male geek types like "loudmouthman" come on and try to discredit objections to people changing the open nature of Twitter, *really disconcerting*.

MDY, thanks for answering my concerns.

You originally said this: "Before Twitter imposed the 250/week sms limit for non-US users (like me), I had device notifications on for most of the people I was following, and was easily receiving 80+ sms messages every hour."

If you weren't trying to make something out of the fact that Twitter imposed limits, why talk about these imposed limits? If it costs you nothing, that's great, thanks for clarifying, but why would you *need to* and *have to read* 80 plus messages and hour? In other words, I do have to wonder if Twitter was rational in imposing these limits -- I just don't know its issues, or the mechanical issues at stake.

Re: your comment, "I don't see why I have to receive my tweets the way you want to receive your tweets. Don't I have a right to choose how I want to receive the information?"

Um, I'm not trying to "impose the way you receive your tweets" or "impose my way of receiving tweets on you". I'm asking the question: why not do this? If you face *phone* limitations, isn't the obvious workaround to go on the *web* when you can log on? After all, if you're like most people, you sit in front of the computer X hours a day anyway. If you're out and about with only a mobile, I understand. But I'm suggesting a *workaround* to your expressed problem.

You said: "Twitter made it possible for its users to receive tweets by phone. Why must I limit myself to the mechanisms that you deem to be appropriate for yourself?"

To which I can only say, why make it personal? Why make it about me "deeming appropriate"? Hell, I'm not the one who deemed it was appropriate for you to receive only X messages -- *that was the Twitter management*. I'm *suggesting a workaround*.

I said: "It sounds to me like you're another avid vanity-feed reader that is trying to find a way to sound like your vanity-feed isn't what it is, but something else."

You said: You're entitled to your opinion. Here's mine: It sounds to me like you're trying to impose your own values and belief system on other people. I'm failing to understand why all of Twitter has to use Twitter the way you use Twitter.

Um, again, this isn't imposing some "way of reading Twitter" on you -- when YOU are the one imposing YOUR way by urging certain accounts you don't like deleted; by urging the Twitter managers to put in a block-track function and so on.

And I'm right to point out the crux of the matter here: you need for a vanity feed. There isn't anything *wrong* with needing a vanity feed. None at all. But admit that's what is driving this concern. Once you stop watching what other people you don't follow are saying at you, once you stop worrying about missing some @ that putatively may be missed in the direct stream to you, you will stop feeling the need to restrict/eject/expel/suppress other accounts.

4. You said: "Also, point of information: if you block those two accounts... they... won't show up in your feed on your mobile. So... block them?"

I take it you didn't read my entire reply because I already said that Track doesn't recognize Blocks.

No, you're just like Steve Gillmor in your persistence in not hearing my point about this.

I totally understand that this is about TRACK. Not about FOLLOW and your DIRECT FEED OF FOLLOWS.

That's very easy to "get," and your persistence in believing I'm not intelligent to get this is like Loudmouthman's, and Steve Gillmor's. I do get it. This is about *your tracking of your own name using track," however. That IS what it is about.

So I will suggest again to you: stop tracking your own name if you are bothered by what happens in that track when you do that. Just follow those you want to hear from directly, and block those you dont' want to hear from.

Believe me, I totally got (and got this before the News Gang show) the problem with your need to track yourself in your track (as distinct from your follow) and your hatred of things appearing in your self-track that you don't like being there. You want then therefore for the managers to make track possible to "unfollow" *within track". Trust me, I got all that.

But I can only come right back you and urge you to a) understand the ramifications of that system-wide b) petition you to stop being so obsessed about the "wrong" use of track. After all, in the absence of this "feature", you feel the need to bang on everybody like me who doesn't agree with you about this.

And my not agreeing isn't "trolling," which is silly: it's simply a failure on your part to persuade me.

Re: "Heck, I even linked to a thread in this forum where other people have already tried Blocking as a way to stop receiving tracks alerts from specific accounts and it doesn't work. Here is that link again for your convenience."

Yes. I got all that. And got it weeks ago and re-got it again and again as it was banged on me. Read my blog about this here:

Yes, we all got it that a proposed concept of trying to use "block" as a way to get unwanted people out of your "track" *does not work*. We got all that. Totally. So...the question is why, however, you, with this obsessive desire to make sure that when people talk about you, it is sanitized, and no one can *ever* talk back to you if you haven't *pre-decided that they can*, there are some really serious implications for a *public dialogue* like this. After all, if you hate people's talkback and dissent to your expression, then this may not be the place for you. Go back to AIM or YM, I guess.

I said: "Live in the moment. Hear what people are doing *right now*. Talk to them *right now*. "

You said: That is precisely what I am trying to do by tracking my username and receiving the tweets via sms in real-time. I want to receive @replies to me *right now* so I can respond and talk to the senders *right now*.

Here's the problem. You want only people who *you yourself have agreed to follow and never your followers* ever, ever, ever to type @your name.

And that's wrong. Your followers responding to you with @ should not be blockable. After all, they are your followers. Most followers are not spammers, marketers, or creepy stalkers. They only make a percentage of the system. So they are just other normal people like yourself.

By insisting on the ability to block any of these @ responders, you are using too heavy an axe. You see one person retweet you? You decide they are an evil psychotic creepy stalker and block them from view. You tell others to do the same. It's sick, and spreads weird paranoia based on snap judgements over chance impressions.

I can only recommend this to you, since you express the same sort of neuralgia that Steve Gillmor expresses for even one talkback with @ that he didn't solicit and didn't love: don't track yourself.

If you are *following* someone, their @ should be visible. It is only your tracking of the @ of the non-followED that appears to be a problem.

Again, if I am factually and mechanically wrong about that last point, please correct.

I agree! There is an open discussion about this on @WiredPig's blog as well as mine. (see: http://blog.wiredpig.us/2008/04/29/wh...)

This guy is using ALL of his accounts to abuse twitter in some way, shape or form. Twitter should just block this guy's IP and be done with him already. How many people have to complain before action is taken?

Twitter needs to take charge of their own Terms of Service agreement and start enforcing their rules that we were required to agree with. If Twitter isn't serious about keeping its users safe by way of the TOS, then it's evident that Twitter isn't serious about this product.

I don't know nor do I care about his mental state. He has followed me with multiple accounts. When I've asked him to either unfollow me or I would block him he followed me with more then went on a tirade against me for asking him to not follow.

He has stated that his goal is to circumvent the blocking system and, as a result, to harass / stalk other users who do not want him following them.

On his referenced page he states - "but if u anger me I will enter ur community n convince ur friends that ur wrong." "what is important is I can follow enemies."

Prok - I use services to see who has @'d me. I dont do it for vanity. 99% of my time on twitter is on my phone via m.twitter. m. allows for only 10 posts per page. If I miss a tweet to me I use the replies and @ searches to see who said what so I can reply. Since m.twitter.com/replies is not formatted for my device I use other services to do the same thing.

Regardless of whether this is right or wrong the problem seems to be an inconsistency in blocking. If I block someone they shouldn't turn up anywhere in my interactions with the service, be it in my feed, in search or via Track.

Here are the existing tools that the Twitter management supplies to you to control your Twitter experience *outside of track, which is a separate issue". Your selection of "track my own name" means "user experience may vary".

Existing tools OUTSIDE OF TRACK are all available under:

https://twitter.com/account/notificat... in "Settings"

No. 1: If you don't want to see all "@ replies" i.e. people you don't know, don't follow, and may not like, don't check this off.

If you only want to see @ replies from people you already follow and want to see, select that option -- again, this is unrelated to 'track' functions.

If you never want to see @ replies -- again, unrelated to track -- just select that options.

Now, go to this page:
https://twitter.com/account/settings

And check off "protect my updates" to get this effect:

"Only let people whom I approve follow my updates. If this is checked, you WILL NOT be on the public timeline."

This translates as follows:

*Don't put yourself in the public timeline if you do not want Internet strangers ever seeing you, with their possible negative behaviour*.

So take this person, for example, who decided to deal with the problem of undesirable communications recently:

https://twitter.com/PurpleCar

She made all her updates "protected," and that means unless she clears me personally to see her updates, *I cannot see them*.

If I go to a third-party application and type in "PurpleCar" *I cannot see her updates because they are protected. Full stop. THAT is what you need to do if you are worried about "strangers" seeing your expression and reacting to it in ways that make you uncomfortable.

All that can be seen in Tweetscan then is the *replies* to PurpleCar. That includes Panopticon.

UNLESS you track *your own name* in your vanity feed, and then you will see the @yourname. THAT is the problem.

@panopticons may be over the top, unhinged, vulgar, etc. But I'd have to agree with his point about the "emoms tyranny" and this strange campaign to "Mail our Military. I find it merely a facile leftist meme to try to create a fake social movement that "looks" patriotic and "looks" like "support our troops" but is basically a Trotskyist bore-from-within tactic typical of these extremists.

I had never thought of the problem of people who are against the war, subtly trying to infiltrate the popular support our troops concept by feigning to support people with emails.

I guess I think that political groups shouldn't be emailing soldiers they don't know -- most soldiers have plenty of their own near and dear they'd like to hear from.

I have another point about this of my own: that by making an e-mom tyranny and mail-our-military meme with the use of Twitter, these leftists are fueling another problem of American selfishness, not focusing on the war itself, the deprivations of the Iraqi people, and the need to email Congressmen, not just soldiers.

I'm concerned that twitter doesn't enforce it's own Terms of Service.

To make a long story short, someone sought me out on twitter and made it their mission to post harassing, abusive and libelous statements about me and my company. I'm all about freedom of speech. I'm all for discussion, discourse and debate but when someone creates 20 or so accounts for the sole purpose of stalking me or posting libelous statements about my company that's where I draw the line.

I've included a fair amount here for your review. It seems pretty clear this is a violation of Twitter's TOS. So why hasn't twitter put an end to this? That my friends, is the question. What say you?

How much more proof of harassment and abuse is needed for Twitter to take action? Just curious.

Oh, of course it's very, very political in a hundred ways. The entire concept of "support our troops" is something that the extremist anti-war movement, which couldn't get traction with their usual political agenda, has invaded in order to try to co-opt it and use it as a cover.

Some using the "mail our military" concept now are definitely trying to inject a certain viewpoint on the war. This can readily be seen. And it does raise disturbing issues about showering troops in combat with these messages. There's the simple, personal concern that troops with limited time on email shouldn't have to wade through a shower of "wellwishers" who are Obama supporters in order to see their real loved ones' mail. These wellwishers on the Internet are merely looking for a facile social movement to infiltrate, in order to percolate their views up through social media and communications tools. I find that very creepy, and I don't think they should get away with this lightly.

I say this as someone who opposes the war in Iraq and would like to find more effective ways to have a peace movement around it than using this sort of hidden-agenda tactic, invading an innocent concept like "mail our military" which could have been sparked (although wasn't entirely) by people just following a long-time American concept of sending postcards to military through USPO.

No. 1, this person disagrees with your politics. and they have a right to. And it's a needed dissent, let me tell you.

Their manner of delivering this message is despicable, crude, and vulgar. But to start screeching about stalking and libelling may be premature when you can *just not follow your name on Twitter and not have a vanity feed*. You seem to want to insist on the vanity-feed cake, and to be able to eat it too, i.e. make it flavourful with only what you want to see in it.

I wouldn't look to Twitter management to solve this problem of stalking and libel if you really believe it to be a severe problem. Call your lawyer and get them working on it. A letter from counsel to the Twitter management as a provider might prompt at least a temporary suspension of the account, or you can press it further through discovery and try to get the real-life coordinates of this person and go through a court with it if you feel strongly.

But it's hard to insist on the nerfing of Twitter and making it less an open system just from this guy's antics. It seems like overkill.

I oppose the war, and I voted for Obama in the primaries. But I really hate the extreme leftists around the campaign being so insensitive to dissent against them, and being so arrogant and orthodox-minded, because they could well lose us the elections, and that's just awful!

I see exactly what this guy is talking about -- a smug, self-referential group of mommy-bloggers and Silicon Valley blogging A-listers and techlibs who were very uncritical of Rev. Wright, who push Obama to the left; who have their own agenda and are hugely insensitive to others objecting to either their views of tactics. Mailourmilitary is indeed something troublesome in their hands.

The manner in which this guy has put forward his beef with these people is retarded, stalking, re-tweeting, being vulgar and crude. We all get that.

But...just how is *anybody* who doesn't like the smarmy blanketing of Twitter with these big emommy influencers able to dissent, if we can't write about them?

Prok,

Whats with all the politics? I am no A-Lister, I'm a conservative independent, I think Rev. Wright is an ass... should I go on? I follow people who are passionately anti-war and have really good discussions with them (see @vaspersthegrate).

First, supporting the troops does not mean supporting the war effort. They are totally different concepts.

Second, the topic of discussion is about violations and lack of enforcement of Twitter's terms of service, which is a contract for use. Politics and apolitical agencies have nothing to do with the basic fact that Twitter does not seem to care about the people it serves.

I suggest we get back on topic.

It seems hes made someones day though.

And a big thanks to Tweetscan for replying to me and mentioning that they are aware of the context.

Next stop im with Dayngr and co and suggest that the TOS is broken when its harassing or aggressive.

Profoky Twiiter and its tools are not a Govt agency they are private businesses. So your 1st to nth Amendment issues or free speech and freedoms dont actually carry weight over civil matters but your going to want to have the last word here as well so why not take it we all know you will.

To the twitter guys, im sure your listening some how so please do let us know

Thanks to everyone else.

Michael, they aren't as different as you imagine, that is, there are people who very much do NOT support the war and use the "support our troops" meme to infiltrate an anti-war perspective into innocent and superficial patriotic movements. That sort of infiltration is what the offender here has responded to. It's on topic only as a good example of how dissent against the prevailing politically-correct view leads some to cry "stalker" and "spam" when that may be too blunt an axe.

The topic of discussion is about TOS violations on Twitter & Twitter's apparent lack of enforcement and reporting.

Loudmouthman,

Duh, Twitter is a private agency. And duh, private non-state actors do not HAVE to enforce the First Amendment precisely because they are non-state actors. Gosh, do you think someone like me who has been following these issues for 30 years is not going to get that? Geez. Your notion that everyone who disagrees with you needs a smarmy little homily and a lecture about corporations is *severely*misplaced. Get over yourself.

No, what I'm doing rather than "speaking from ignorance about how private corporations work" DUH is I'm inviting you (or rather, hoping, while looking over your shoulder, as you are close-minded on this) to think outside the box.

Government and media are in a state, if not of dissolution and disintegration, at least severe compromise, and severe questioning.

In that sort of situation, the new media/the social media start-ups pretending to large audiences and huge participation *become like governments*.

They affect and influence huge swathes of people and their responsibilities to behave as responsible corporate citizens, and as keepers of the public commons grow exponentially to their level of participants.

In the U.S., the Supreme Court or higher courts have ruled, say, that the Boy Scouts get to keep out gays, because they are a private club. The right to freedom of expression of gays doesn't trump the right of association of this private club.

But in other cases, the Mall of America didn't get a ruling enabling it to keep out people with political T-shirts critical of Bush. And that's because it's right to be a private corporation *when it holds the public space* isn't absolutist, and cannot trump free expression.

So it's a balance, and one being *refought and reconsidered and reestablished daily* whether you realize it, or wish for it or not.

When something like Twitter becomes the chief form of news and not just the chief form of noise for a lot of people, it has huge social implications.

Many people will form or reassert their notions of whom to vote for in the elections based on Twittering.

In that context, the right to free expression and the second part of the First Amendment becomes relevant: where will the people go to petition their grievances to the keepers of social media, the owners and coders? You want government regulation?

If old media is dying, if it's ad revenue is drying up, if nobody watches it, how is the public to be informed? By its precious little Twitter girlfriends and emoms who pitch only one point of view?

If government is discredited and in transition, who will mediate the media?! Who will watch the watchers?

Social media, only in its embryonic stages now, will grow more vast, more pervasive, more all-knowing and all-seeing. And that's why you have to care NOW, while it is being shaped, how it behaves with First Amendment values.

Where will the First Amendment be enforced and be available, especially its second part about petitioning those in power, if private corporations owning social media, and their coder dev friends in Silicon Valley, get to run it completely? It's no good saying "go to one of the blog companies owned by the Silicon Valley companies" -- they may block/ban you and use some master shit list.

These are real issues, a facile reaffirmation of corporate privileges isn't sufficient to address the real concerns.

Noah David Simon called me a c*nt and a feminazi, harassed me and my fiance Kosso, and made me feel very uneasy and threatened with his aggressive attitude, using multiple twitter accounts.

see my twitter favourites: http://twitter.com/01000101/favorites

I had a similar thing happen on myspace when he sent me countless friend requests that I refused (because he seemed unlike a person I would want to associate myself with) and he verbally assaulted me for it. Eventually I reported him to myspace and he got the boot. (and as far as I am aware has started another account.)

In researching him on the internet, I have found posts and comments on blogs by him where he states he was booted from facebook as well. Clearly this guy likes to test the boundaries and offend as many people as possible in the process. I would like to see something done about this.

It is my right to not *have* to make my twitter feed (among other things) private on the internet and I refuse to change the way I use social media and its networks because of this guy.

Something should be done about him, I am not the only one he has abused and this is not the first social media network he has abused.

No. This isn't a violation. Annoying? You bet. Hostile, abusive, defamatory or stalkerish? No.

However, that being said, I think Twitter should implement some changes that would solve this problem.

A) make the ability to report abusive profiles visible on every single profile. After a certain number of abuse claims the profile is suspended for review.

B) When a person blocks a follower, that follower should no longer have access to the blocker's profile or stream. This should transfer to other twitter related sites.

My 2 cents

@seanmarler

I should have read the comments before posting my last comment.

Obviously, his behavior IS stalkerish and this is done with malicious intent.

Twitter should nuke the a$$hole.

@seanmarler

From the previous comment (I'm deleting it):

"However, that being said, I think Twitter should implement some changes that would solve this problem.

What the hell does it take for Twitter to take this seriously? This guy is clearly abusing the TOS and the system from multiple accounts.

I'm getting sick of it.

GET RID OF HIM

Maybe it will take another version of the Kathy Sierra story to happen for twitter to wake up, by the looks of things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Si...

IMHO, yes, it is a violation of Terms of Service because the TOS state that you own copyright to your tweets and his actions violate that.

I am less confident of this but suspect that creating so many accounts also violates the TOS.

His misogyny, hate speech, stalking and abusive actions may or may not violate TOS but certainly violate community norms. Twitter should act, or allow the default process (if one exists) of many many people blocking him to in essence "vote him off the island."

Here is my take (and I only skimmed the comments so please forgive if it is a repeat).

The issue here is malicious intent. Malicious intent, to me, is anti-social behavior and anti-social behavior is not really appropriate on a social network (at least thats what logic tells me). I do not believe this particular practice is against the TOS (I do believe some of his other, harassing, activities are).

However, if I were Twitter, I would be more concerned about this than a TOE violation, to be honest. This is a deliberate effort to undermine the structure and function of their system. Standing by and allowing this is setting a very bad precedent.

Further, as a member of the Twitter community, it gives me great pause. If someone in my neighborhood was willingly and with malice of forethought trying to usurp the guidelines of the neighborhood association, I would expect them to do something about it. Should the fail, I would probably remove myself from that environment. Not necessarily because that activity would adversely efect me, but because the next one might, and I now know that the folks with the ability to do something about it... won't.

There are really only 2 questions here - despite the abundance of posts.

1) Is he abusing the Twitter TOS?
2) Will Twitter enforce those TOS if he is?

Many folks above have documented (at length) behavior that we all feel clearly violates the terms of service - specifically, using Twitter accounts to intentionally harass and abuse other Twitterer members and violating their copyrights.

Someone on the company's side needs to now determine definitively if they agree with us that the TOS have been repeatedly violated by this individual.
If Twitter doesn't believe that is the case, THEY NEED TO STATE SO.

If Twitter does determine that he is violating the TOS, we would appreciate knowing if they intend on doing anything to enforce them and to prohibit his person from continuing to do so.

This isn't community policing - this is community asking for the COMPANY to respond to complaints from multiple sources that this individual has violated the TOS.

Please address the issue, Twitter.

There's more than enough pointless debate here - it's time someone in a position of authority within the company stepped up and addressed this.

I am profoundly upset about this guy. First he was harassing @queenofspain in truly frightening ways. Next up was @emailourmilitary. I blocked him, but saw him come up in about 5 or 6 new names.

Can't Twitter ban his IP address? This guy is psychotic and I think this goes beyond Twitter. He is clearly a danger to himself and others from what I can tell.

And let me help Twitter out. This moron always uses the following description: MANY EYES WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES DRESSES IN BASEMENT

Mosqueda, take a deep breath. All the guy is doing is taking very legitimate and needed dissent against @QueenofSpain and @emailourmilitary, two A-lister, very pervasive presences and very judgemental presences on Twitter, and trying to twit them back precisely because they *are* so blanketing. I find them really suffocating myself -- their echo-chamber views are insular and self-referential, and their chatty girlfriend talk on such a high-visible public forum, with constant fanning and self-adoration by their followers, is really smarmy. They are nasty and catty about people they don't like. They are gushing and ass-kissing to those they love. They have hugely opinionated and intolerant views, i.e. knee-jerk pro-Obama. It's repugnant. Yet Twitter is not for the faint-hearted -- you have to expect to see people you don't like on here.

He's reacting to an actual phenom that makes quite a number of us, I'm sure, puke -- self-referential affluent Valley girls trying to take over the discourse.

His methods are unacceptable. But the more people fight him, the more he will dig in his heels, because he's got a point -- people trying to block out dissent gainst those girls aren't at heart "wrong", just dissenting against their takeover of social media.

His saying, while weird, has a point: people live in glass houses on Twitter, they want all eyes on them constantly, they want adoring fans (people like @QueenofSpain) and yet they also demand the privacy to "dress in the basement" when they feel like it. And I say: you can't have both.

I don't see that there's necessarily anything psychotic about this guy, although is vulgar, crude and nasty language is disturbing.

I'm not willing to let YOU decide what is "sick" or "wrong" because I don't trust you -- you are too reactive.

Furthermore, you may not be aware that many people using DSL lines have dynamic IPs and trying to block them is hard or impossible or creates to many false flags. IP blocking isn't a solution.

Not tracking your vanity feed *is* a solution. If you absolutely MUST see your adoring fans, let your eye not rest on anything spammy or vulgar and save your blood pressure.

I'm very much on topic, and sorry, you're not the arbiter of this. You may find my larger conceptual points "noise," perhaps they are pitched over your head if you don't think conceptually. Understood.

The problem is that your little problem of what you view as harassment of your little community as you define your little posse is something that has larger ramifications. Your reading of somebody's dissent against your use of Twitter as "a violation of the TOS" or as "wrong" or as "sick" is just the sort of thing we can't allow to get legs in a democratic society, because it's just too oppressive. You're just not enlightened enough about the meaning of these terms, and their ramifications.

I'm confused. If I block/ignore someone and they continue to show up, isn't that a Twitter issue? Perhaps they should just make a better way of blocking or come up with a way to enforce their TOS.

All I can say is that I agree with QueenofSpain and MailOurMilitary, and disagree as strongly as possible with Prokofy.

"it doesn't get followers... but it does get your name tweeted around the internet as a guy to fear. I like fear" - http://twitter.com/noahdavidsimon/sta...

- Doesn't sound harmless to me.

His re-tweeting is a nuisance, but it seems that is the least of our concerns. I said this before, but if this was a face-to-face situation, he would qualify for the likes of a restraining order if not more. It is time we take cyber abuse seriously.
