    I am fairly show this has already been debunked. That’s not how programming works, you wouldn’t have a list of people on the API side. There’s absolutely no reason for it to live on that side, it would be on the server because that’s where it would have to run anyway.

      No, you see, the algorithm uses the API to parse the tokens and then it asserts the heuristics on the server. Trust me, my uncle works at Twitter.

      Yeah plus they know the code is open source, so even if that wasn’t the normal and correct way to do it, it is how they would do it.
