I want to remove everyone who followed me. The people whom I can't (officially) control. Will this script do it for me?

It says "Following" in the script.

...and is not good to be used as probably Twitter would block you for doing so many removes at a high pace but at that moment it was the only solution to remove the bulk of fake follower accounts without any relation to actual people who followed. This was more of a JavaScript exercise and with some tweaks, it could be much improved, adjusted to work again, lower the removal speed to be more like an actual human, limit the total number per hour/day according to Twitter policies and, maybe, to add exclusion list which would preserve real friends.

If anyone would need that, I could give it a try 🙂
