The X.com advertising system makes it easier for scammers to reach more people with fake/phishing websites.

Twitter allow scam advertisement because I believe they do not moderate scams anymore. Moreover, they do not censor the linking to mixers as well. But If you have noticed the recent development, our beloved BitcoinTalk which is supposed to give full freedom of speech is now censoring mixers. Admin afraid, the forum might get seized for linking to the mixers. What about social media like Twitter and Facebook? Aren't those platforms more centralized and more censored than BitcoinTalk? Sorry for the off-topic mate.
Everything Twitter is doing now is for money making, so they don't care if any scam website is promoted on their platform. But victims can tell just how dangerous these scam ads can be. Twitter should put some effort into moderating such phishing ads and think about the safety of their users. But as far as I think Twitter will not remove these scam/phishing ads until they face any legal problem.


This already happening in Twitter long time ago.Not only phising website ads, many scammer do anything to scam target like create a fake giveaway.
Since every account can get blue verification by paying every month/year. Many fake account pretend to be original account make the scammer more easy to try scam target.
Yeah. Twitter is now more dangerous than ever due to paid blue badges. This paid blue badge gives scammers more freedom to pretend to be real accounts, creating more problems for Twitter users in the future and fraudsters will continue to take advantage of it.
