Apple catches a lot of flak for what they let in and out of the App store. Twitter's exhibited a pretty open attitude to what is allowed on the network. I don't see them really making this move, but tighter scrutiny wouldn't be completely unwelcome, given the influx of spam lately. That's a slippery slope.

I'm not someone personally who forwards a lot of things, but I can envision YoTwits being used to try and market almost anything, with the sender getting some kind of credit.
