It looks like there will be a few people who won't be named on Follow Friday anytime soon. Twitter took steps to protect its users last week when it filed a federal lawsuit against a group of tool providers and spammers.
The social media site has been waging war against websites that bombard tweeps with automated tweets hawking products or infected with viruses. On occasion, these websites can even assert control over users' accounts.
As part of Twitter's efforts to combat these rogue activities, it sued TweetAttacks, TweetAdder, TweetBuddy, James Lucero of justinlover.info and Garland Harris of troption.com, whom the social media site viewed as the most egregious of the “bad actors” currently plaguing users.
