- Why is Twitter announcing these prefixes? <br clear="none" class="">

I have no idea.

- How and why is this prefix in RADB, given that it is unallocated space? <br clear="none" class="">
<br clear="none" class="">
Good question - I wonder what periodic checks the RADB undertakes on the data held in its registry?<br clear="none" class=""></blockquote><div class=""><br clear="none" class=""></div><div class="">No idea, it should be triggered right away when the RIR, who is the authentic source of these resources marked them "Unalloacted".
