Twitter Launches Legal Assault on Tweet Spammers

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Twitter is cracking down on spammers.
.
The company on Thursday filed a lawsuit in federal court in San Francisco
against five of its most aggressive spam enablers.
.
The defendants include JL4 Web Solutions, based in the Philippines and
referred to in the suit as "TweetAttacks." Other defendants include
Tennessee-based Skootle Corporation, referred to as "TweetAdder";
"TweetBuddy"; and the individuals James Lucero and Garland Harris.
.
The lawsuit takes aim at the people building spamming tools, such as
software that latches on to trending topics and starts injecting
irrelevant marketing messages into the mix.
.
"With this suit, we're going straight to the source. By shutting down tool
providers, we will prevent other spammers from having these services at
their disposal," Twitter said in a blog post. "Further, we hope the suit
acts as a deterrent to other spammers, demonstrating the strength of our
commitment to keep them off Twitter."
.
By Friday afternoon, several of the websites named in Twitter's suit --
TweetAttacks, TweetBuddy, and a site operated by Lucero -- were offline.
