The bot account he created (@imposterbuster) was built to identify racists on Twitter, specifically accounts that impersonated real people from ethnic minorities and were run by trolls. These accounts would join Twitter conversations of high-profile users with racist commentary. The "Imposter Bot" would then automatically join the conversation and attempt to expose the troll.
Unsurprisingly, the bot angered the trolls. In April, Twitter suspended the bot after receiving reports of harassment and spam, allegedly from all those trolls. This month, Twitter permanently banned "Imposter Buster."
The justification for a permanent suspension? The account posted "high volumes" of "duplicative content" and Twitter also continued to receive a spam complaints, according to Rosenberg.
"Just as they duplicitously cast themselves as minorities, they disingenuously recast our response to their ongoing abuse as harassment," Rosenberg wrote in the op-ed.
Rosenberg argued that actions like his are one way to successfully combat trolls and harassment and that Twitter's current enforcements efforts were not feasible.

In an interview with Mashable, Rosenberg said he hadn't heard anything directly from Twitter since publishing the op-ed.

We are regularly in touch with developers to help ensure their work fully follows the Twitter Rules and our developer policies," the emailed statement reads.
