Twitter is Promoting Malware on its platform

I have been monitoring the source-code of the link that is being promoted here:

Get More Twitter Followers https://t.co/DQzeOWuYP1 Thank you 🙂

— ally (@bakugouvie) April 1, 2020

The link allows you to get FREE FOLLOWERS ,

BUT

in exchange for the FREE FOLLOWERS – you auto-spam everyone that is following you – a link to the tweet.

I have reported the user @bakugouvie about 15 times – twitter says that there’s nothing wrong with it.

This is misleading and false.

Twitter simply DOES NOT CARE that the link infects millions of its users.

As can be seen by the quoted replies to the tweet:

if you get sent this DO NOT CLICK THE LINK, even out of curiosity. It can compromise your account. https://t.co/1Ec37P5z62

Don't click this link if someone sends it to you

I mean it should be common sense on the internet, but apparently not. People are still clicking it. https://t.co/Y1EZ1yWBjP

If someone DMs you this tweet, ignore it it's trying to hack into your account. Besides, at least personally, I'd rather have my followers be genuine and not be there to boost my numbers. https://t.co/hMADuEfKyj
