Then why are you following those 'bots powered by corporate account' so that they can DM you? Especially since every twitter account is also available by RSS?

You can't have the cake and eat it. Do you really think twitter as a company should spend their dev time in making separation which are down to each person to decide rather than keeping the system running? If you want that feature, build a system which retrieves all your DMS and allows you to set them as 'friends' and 'bad bots' and only let those through which you want to see. Again: this is not a twitter problem, but a usage tool. Nicole
