> Bruce Daisley, the head of Twitter in Europe, said the site would give its 320 millions users new tools to protect them from trolls
...and even that is non-specific.
Would much rather hear a firm statement that they are keeping reverse chronological tweets and 140 char limits because that is their identity.
In short, if you're going to "troll" on Twitter (which includes sharing opinions others might not like) and end up on one of these lists, it might be best to do so strictly pseudonymously.

# get a list of idiots
open B, '<', $sourcelist_file or die "Can't open $sourcelist_file: $!\n";
foreach ( <B> ) {
chomp;
push @idiots, $_;
}
close B;
I'd imagine calling people idiots via source code is against the GitHub TOS.Not specifically. They have two clauses however that open it to a strictly subjective determination. First, they reserve the right to cancel any account, at any time, for any reason. Second, they have sections regarding offensive content (G.7/8), that gives them the right to remove such at their discretion.
