: Twitter blocking links to Blogspot blog A colleague is unable to post links to his Blogspot-hosted site to Twitter. We both see the message that "This request looks like it might be automated.

For a long time now Twitter has been running links from tweets through a database of known potentially unsafe URL's. This is done to sites that are detected as being possible phishing sites aimed at stealing login information, sites that download malicious software to the end users computer, or spam sites that request personal information. Sites that are normally high quality but that have been compromised at some point with malware being embedded on the site can also be flagged as a potentially unsafe site.

If you manage a site which has been flagged as unsafe go Twitter, contact Twitter support. If you are completely sure that the URL being blocked is not being used for abuse on Twitter and is completely safe then you can fill out a support ticket. In the problematic link field you will need to enter the extended version of the end link you are having issues with rather than a shortened version of the link.
