Is my bot likely to get banned?

[editvideobot]

I run @editvideobot, which allows users to edit videos on Twitter. As it gets bigger, I want to make sure that it’s compliant with everything, so as to make sure I never get suspended.

As far as I know, it’s compliant with EVERYTHING, but you can never be too sure, and I don’t want to miss anything, and end up losing something I’ve spent so much time into making.

One of my major references for checking everything was this:

Policy clarification - automated replies and mentions

Like the hashtag, mentions are a crucial feature that first emerged from innovation by people on Twitter. Today, mentions and replies are a fundamental part of how people and businesses on Twitter interact, and we continue to see new and exciting uses of these features by developers — including to provide customer service, share news and reminders with others, and discover new topics and events. When misused, and especially at high volume, automated replies and mentions can quickly become spamm…

Currently, it:

• Only replies if a user @ mentions the bot AND they follow the account
• Only replies if the tweet the users want to ‘edit’ has media in it (a photo, video or gif)
• Repects the right for people to block the bot, if they don’t want their media to be edited
• Never exceeds API rate limits
• Deletes Tweets at the request of users if they are uncomfortable with it, or it’s their own personal property.
• I also use it to engage with my followers, so it isn’t solely a bot account

Is it safe to say it’s unlikely that it will ever be suspended? If not, what else should I do, or what am I missing?

There is no way that we can make a statement (on the public forums, or via our support channels) to state that your app will “never” be restricted.

The way that the antispam platform works is that it looks for inauthentic or unusual activities.

(Speculation) If, at some point, your app is mega popular and thousands of users decide to post similar content through it, OR, post on a sensitive topic, etc - your app MAY be restricted. We are not blaming you, we’re just laying out how things could be complicated. Video editing, especially to the point of things like deep fakes, that’s definitely very challenging. I expect you’re already dealing with these issues way outside of Twitter, you are working in a space with a ton of regulatory conversations so you’ll already know about the challenges.

Our Site Integrity teams have a role to play. The goal from our side is to avoid spammy content etc, if your app has caps and rules in place, that can help. If an app (not YOUR app) enables poor quality repeated bad content, it might be paused, or banned.

Thanks. Perhaps in the future I might implement a rate limit per user (or per one video that lots of people want to edit)

I appreciate the clarification.
