"But about two hours later, the company said the deactivation 'was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee's last day.' "
Was it the employee's "last day" because of the sabotage, or was the sabotage because it was his last day?
Not that it matters much at this point, but of late I've become very sensitive about how the perception of truth can be affected by delicate adjustments of the wording. Or delicately cropping videos of people feeding fish.
I wouldn't be surprised if they have bots that can do it. Probably the same thing on Facebook and Youtube.
Kind of makes me wonder how much "unexploded ordnance" is buried deep within our most beloved and useful commercial software.
