PSA: These "fun" apps from roundyear(dot)fun ("My Twitter Family" etc) have a downside: they gain near-total control of your account and (at the very least) use it to follow other accounts without your knowledge. #FunAllYearRoundUntilYourAccountGetsCompromised

We had @DrunkAlexJones test some of the Round Year Fun apps. The list of permissions the apps request is extensive and encompasses pretty much every action one could possibly take with one's Twitter account. The apps produced the expected "My Twitter Crush" etc tweets. ImageImage
Less expectedly, the Round Year Fun apps caused @DrunkAlexJones to follow six accounts:: @GeoRebekah, @ai3____, @zkerravala, @firefireband, @drago1171, and @MunaTaji. The apps also muted each of the accounts they followed. Image
