Software Engineer with 15 years coding experience: Bullshit. Putting aside testing on an offline version, this is a one day job for one competent engineer.It's been literally a week, there is lots of coding and crap that goes into this. They basically "unlocked" everything, see where it broke and are trying to fix it.
The issue at hand is the checkmark used to mean the account was trusted and the information accurate. The parody/impersonator should not have been able to obtain it in the first place, as combined with using the Senators name would indicate the account was genuine.But they were banned too: https://twitter.com/realedmarkey
