Arnaud, That's comforting to know. With that being the case, can you please enlighten us as to why Twitter is apparently violating its own rules, which, as you said, are still in force and we all still are apparently expected to adhere to?
Let me help you and quote from your rules the appropriate text: "If you are automatically sending @reply messages or Mentions to a bunch of users, the recipients must request or approve this action in advance." Have any of the users targeted by @twittersuggests, which is sending automated @reply messages "to a bunch of users", explicitly requested or approved this action in advance? If not, then you may have de facto invalidated that section of your rules and by implication exempted all developers and applications from it.
