Twitter Loses Followers, Temporarily
Twitter said this morning that the firm identified, and fixed a bug which allowed users to force other users to follow them. As a result, the firm said it had temporarily set follower and following numbers to 0, as the firm rolls back abuse of the bug. The bug had allowed anyone to force another user to become a follower of their account.
