Don’t worry, it isn’t permanent. Yesterday, some enterprising Twitter users discovered a bug that let anyone force any other user to follow them, simply by tweeting ‘accept’ and a Twitter username (for example ‘accept @musically’).

For an entertaining few hours, every Twitter user’s follower count dropped to zero while Twitter fixed the problem. We’d love to have been a fly on the wall if Justin Bieber’s digital marketing manager had logged in during the outage though… Source: VentureBeat
