Good idea but difficult to implement. Unless they add another marker and verify themselves against twitter to prove they are official. Anyone could really create a twitter account and claim to be a company to scam others. Good for them to take action, and clean up the crypto market - wide adoption will follow afterwards.

If you are visiting vitalik timeline and then you will be so many scammers are using the similar name on their tweet to scam others.

But so many people are aware of that. It seems they are all checking the twitter name for a twice before doing anything right now.

It looks like there are more than thousand of scammers.
Scammers are everywhere and that sucks.

Report feature doesn't work effectively.
