Twitter Puts Its Foot Down, Takes Five Biggest Spammers To Federal Court

A warning: You can only spam Twitter so much before it brings in the law. As Twitter grows -- the company now claims to have 140 million active users -- naturally, it's become an attractive target for spammers, which have collectively made their drek a familiar part of the social network's user experience. Now Twitter is officially putting its foot down and enlisting the help of the federal courts, filing a suit in San Francisco today against its five most aggressive spammers. In pursuing legal action, Twitter said in a statement on its blog, it believes it's going "straight to the source".
