Welcome to the wonderful world of human-free review. The URL has been mass reported as a phishing site by paid operatives and unpaid operatives to Twitter and the only way it will ever be linkable is if we all raise enough of a stink that Twitter notices and sends someone to physically review the site...in 2-8 weeks. (They have few people tasked with this and a long rolling list of sites to review)

Now, because Twitter reports its reported phishing sites to net-watchdog groups and other major websites like Google and Yahoo...you can expect the link to be flagged at them in the coming days too, as well as blocked by ISPs and AV/AS software. Part of a wide-ranging internet policy for major providers to keep their sites safe for users by sharing "malicious user/site" data.
