And payment processors can also identify these. And most of them you have to purchase with a minimum amount on ($10 or $20 afaik).

Virtual debit cards however are interesting. My bank lets me set up as many of those as I like and I don't even have to use my real name or billing address with them.

And yeah, there's also the stolen credit card / debit card market. I really can't see this adding that much pain for these bot handlers. It might make it a bit easier to identify the patterns at least.

I think this will just end up moving the problem further down the line and end up with twitter accounts being bought / sold.
