          Is there something we should do when we find a Twitter account using my picture in their profile?

          More importantly why won't @Twitter @TwitterSafety shut them down when reported? These two accounts (@1132tnerb & @tom_loop) were cloned solely for the purpose of harassment and defamation and after numerous attempts to close, remain open. #TheSociopathicBusinessModelpic.twitter.com/l5o6o2AQBe

          Exactly - I have many followers add themselves to my accounts every day- kids get these on their phones and think...ooo followers...and just add them. It's an incideous fungus... PS I only have 7 followers cause I don't allow anyone but smart folks like ari follow me.

          and the reason i say "block em" rather than report em is because it's not causing trouble with real twitter users..but it blocks my having to deal with an onslaught of bots trying to add to my followers list. Poof...they're gone!!

          Honestly, I feel like a PSA should go out to all young folks showing kids swiping left..focused on their phones...but when you look at the phone it's them doing a follower cleanup operation...ID's with long number/weird characters - BLOCK

          One more thought. During the cold war we had PSAs showing kids in schools diving under their desks. Call it lock the doors/close the windows. Just saw bots on R discussion string. It's an American prob. If Admin won't do it We Should!

          There are 4 - again that is FOUR !! - Twitter accounts using my real name, which is fairly unique enough. When I reached out to Twitter to report the issue, they asked for personal documents (passports/DL) to verify ID and then it became an issue on if I can trust Twitter.
