Hi Guys, This isn't technically an API issue but a usage issue of the new to arrive Lists API.
Retweets (outside of the API) have had an issue where by it is pretty easy to fake a users tweet, for instance someone could easily produce a tweet as a RT that I have never ever said: RT @PaulKinlan OMG Guess who is standing for parliament > http://somelinkto-a-rickroll.com Myself and a colleague have been talking about forgery/defamation through Twitter lists, for instance, if someone didn't like me they could create a new user (or use their user), create a list of "Racists" and add me to that list, or something similar that would cause me to be associated with. This list is listed in my profile when someone looks at me in the "Lists Following me" For example: http://twitter.com/PaulKinlan/example-list-of-bad-peeps (I will delete this soon), this will also be in @ev's profile http://twitter.com/ev/lists/memberships So just some quick questions: If I block a person, will they be able to add me to a list? If I block a person will I be removed from their lists they have generated? Without blocking a person, will I be able to remove myself from a list? Through the API we be able to remove ourselves from a lists? Cheers, Paul
