HOLY MOLA!

You can tag accounts that have blocked you (and that you've blocked, me and POTUS are mutual blockers) in a "fleet" and the tag will still work to direct your followers to that account.

That is not good.
What that means is that you can use Fleet to direct your followers to harass someone and there is no way for the target to identify the source of the harassment.

Shut it down, @twitter.
What's truly baffling is that, since you don't get notifications when you're tagged or your tweets are elevated to Fleet, why even have a function to tag users? It doesn't get their attention.
It appears as though tweets from protected accounts cannot be shared as fleets... so... yay? At least they did not work absolutely every safety feature.
