HUGE ISSUES with tweet labels, secret tags, impersonations, bots #1858

Open Anyatrades opened 1 year ago

ISSUE #1: MISLABELING

My pinned video with 2 Million views got labeled as age-restricted adult content despite its content being entirely appropriate and not violating any guidelines. In the video I'm FULLY dressed from neck to toes just talking. It's a year and a half old, it got the label a few days ago.

To Reproduce go to www.twitter.com/anyatrades and see.

ISSUE #2: HUGE AND ONGOING

Please check my account and clear it of hidden/secret NSFA tags which got me limited reach/visibility since January and account numbers drop -90%.

Prior to January avg +7,000 new followers monthly. After January avg +600 new followers monthly.

Been using Twitter for 12 years!

Impressions are also down sharply and suddenly by -70% from 15M monthly to 5M.

ISSUE #3: IMPERSONATIONS/BOTS

Anyone who comments under my tweets gets about 7 bot replies with scam impersonation telegram link.

One of possible fixes for this could be setting max 3 same tweets/replies texts an hour if more than 2 words are used to stop this automatic bot soliciting by thousands a minute.

Please help @jdm-twtr @twitter-service

I can provide more info and fix ideas if needed. Thank you 🙏🏼 Anya

Smells fishy I'll drop the link to an archive in case the other issue is deleted
