Itโ€™s also easy to account spoof: Iโ€™m @PeteStrzok, but that doesnโ€™t prevent someone from creating (on existing or new severs they make) @[email protected], @[email protected], etc.

Make sure you verify the account youโ€™re following is in fact the person you think it is. An old article (would welcome an updated version):
