Twitter is the worst for these types of claims. The best way to protect yourself is to get a registered trademark, as Twitter does not recognize common law trademark rights. Instead, you have to submit an "impersonation claim," which is a joke. I've brought this to the attention of their legal department, but it appears that they don't plan to do anything about, which subjects them to the potential for secondary liability claims, such as vicarious liability and contributory trademark infringement.
