A cyber-prank tricked so many Twitter users that the company felt compelled to issue a warning.
The prankster told users that they could pick any color they wanted for their profile, if they changed their birthdate to 2007.
What happened? They got locked out.
You can't use Twitter if you are 12 and that's that.
So many fell for the prank that Twitter issued this announcement:
We've noticed a prank trying to get people to change their Twitter birthday in their profile to 2007 to unlock new color schemes. Please don't do this. You'll get locked out for being under 13 years old.
