Twitter Needs Pro-Active Feature to Block Unwanted Followers Automatically

July 4, 2018 By John Colascione Leave a Comment

NEW YORK, NY – Twitter, one of my favorite social networking websites, lacks an important feature which should be added to the service, preventing users from certain counties following you, automatically.
