All I want is this: if new follower has
This may work for individuals, but if Twitter were to implement this, it would work for MAYBE 15 minutes before the bots get around it.

Literally none of those links mention SQRL.
They don't need to. He has been thoroughly and completely debunked for decades. Legitimate security researchers pay no attention to him, and neither should you.

#37I wonder is Twitter even using this any more? I report spam a lot and i's common to find 50+ identical tweets being pumped out at the rate of 10/minute, or tweets that include variation but link to the same piece of media or URL hundreds or even thousands of times. Given the quite fine-grained control in the filter stream API, it's very easy to get streams of spam, so I wonder what their excuse for letting it prolife…
Allowing spammers to run wild artificially boosts activity statistics.
But they make the ad performance look worse, because they're active users who don't click ads.

Literally. You forgot the "if there are more than 8 digits in username, purge immediately"
But https://twitter.com/greg16676935420 is quite funny!
