    Seeing many complaints about the Twitter "family tree" app asking for (unnecessary) authorizations, and then people finding themselves following accounts (muted so they don't notice). Seems scammy *and* can be a risk with DM access. Can a Twitter employee alert @twittersafety?https://twitter.com/Ron_Fleasley/status/1380974290573623298 …

    It followed this person for me, and muted them so I would never know. It’s selling follows!!!!! This is so so so so dodgy. @georebekah pic.twitter.com/oLmM06YtCG

        Folks, don't give easy access to apps, check what the permissions involve, and if you did, go to your settings and find "connected apps" and revoke those. You can be "sold" as a follower, your DMs can be accessed etc. @Twittersafety should vet all apps for their permissions.pic.twitter.com/kupbm2XfS8

        Yeah, looks like there is follower buying/scamming of some sort going on with this app (and maybe others). @twittersafety really should look into these apps, and the transactions around them. https://twitter.com/PhillenniumLine/status/1381642410296369152 …

        There should be a "report" button for apps, so the community can bring this to Twitter's attention...

        Something about it felt a bit too scammy for me so I’m, uh, happy it seems sketchy. 😀

        Thanks for letting us know –– our team is looking into this. You can always revoke access for third-party apps that you don’t recognize or no longer want to use. Here’s how:https://help.twitter.com/managing-your-account/connect-or-revoke-access-to-third-party-apps …

        I believe I am having problems with this as well. I will gain followers but cannot find them on my list of followers (it shows no one, and I have gained at least 50 followers in the last month) Some of them are legitimate followers, but some are not visible to me.
