    Twitter no longer belongs in the “tech news” category. They aren’t running it like a tech company anymore with tech company goals.

    Enforcement is easy, if they post to Twitter they are a parody account. Everything ok there is a joke and not a good one.

    Say that parody accounts have to have the label set and offer such label also when registering your account. Then ban those doing a parody account without the label. Seems easy enough
