I wonder is Twitter even using this any more? I report spam a lot and i's common to find 50+ identical tweets being pumped out at the rate of 10/minute, or tweets that include variation but link to the same piece of media or URL hundreds or even thousands of times. Given the quite fine-grained control in the filter stream API, it's very easy to get streams of spam, so I wonder what their excuse for letting it proliferate.
