Twitter has announced some major restrictions on how users and apps can automate tweets, in order to help fight spam and political propaganda bots. Developers are now banned from using any system that posts “identical or substantially similar” tweets from multiple accounts at once, or makes actions like liking, retweeting, and following across multiple accounts at once. Twitter will remove these options from its own TweetDeck app, and third-party app developers have until March 23rd, 2018 to comply with these new changes.

Now these new rules don’t apply to weather, emergency, or other public service announcements. So a tsunami or hurricane warning, for instance, could be posted across a lot of different accounts at once.
