A voluntary bot net is still a bot net. And I wonder how voluntary it really is? Can you easily decline further participation if you start to disagree with some of the "fake news" it is spamming?

One would think that simply changing the password on the Twitter account would be the end of it. But for the curious, I would still recommend establishing a "burner" account for testing purposes.
You can easily de-authorize the application that you join to remove yourself from the botnet
Lol, first thing I did was change it in dev tools. Couldn't stand it.
