Why does twitter say forbidden when I go to follow somebody? - iheartquestions - 01-24-2013 05:56 PM
When I am on the twitter app on my phone or ipad when I go to follow someone it says 'forbidden' and I can follow then using safari but when I go back onto the app it unfollows them again.. It is with everyone so not just people with private accounts. Help?

Maybe they think you are a stalker.

All status codes beginning with a "4" indicate errors on the client side, meaning the requesting computer. A common one is the 404, in which the client requests a resource that does not exist. The 403 is a little trickier -- in this case, the request by the client is technically correct (that is, it was understandable by the server), but the server refuses to respond. The HTTP protocol allows servers to give a 403 response without any explanation necessary.
