Curious if enforcement is going to also thrash legitimate human accounts that have been - underhandedly - oauth’d authorized to be remotely controlled by a third party.

I hope Twitter introduces a screen informing who and what caused suspensions or bans

Wouldn't Twitter be able to see who access was delegated to? It sounds like they'd just ban the app rather than all its users.

The idea is to find and kill bot accounts, not bot-control aps.
