I have been asked to shut it down after phishing reports happen day after day (I block everything as soon as I'm aware). I don't have easy solutions to curb the number of abuse reports, I was already turning off the service at night and the abusers keep sending around non-working links.

So:
1) Phishers are stupid for giving out links that don't work
2) "Security companies" don't check if links are valid
3) Hosting providers don't check if links are valid
4) Gateway operator blocks links before they were valid

Good shit-show. We need working phish-detection in gateways in any case.

What's funny, they complain about some URLs that were never delivered successfully to anyone, based on reports on Phishtank, a service that actively misclassifies blocked URLs as active, and which offers APIs that are broken or highly rate-limited.

No weed?

Obviously 😆

This will facilitate leaving Twitter altogether.
