Description |
Ben Sarma, an Internet marketer who hadn't used Twitter for months, was startled to find out Tuesday that his photo was being used by at least five other Twitter accounts.
"Not sure how this happened," he wrote to them, "but you are using my picture on your profile. Though I'm flattered, please change it."
By Wednesday, none of them had.
In addition to Sarma's photo, these Twitter accounts all have one thing in common—they are all new (and likely non-human) followers of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. |
