What happened to filing counter-claims? Someone can just file a DMCA against you and get you permabanned from twitter? I don't think the IOC would have any serious standing to claim copyright infringement.
Why don't we retweet that banned image and see how far Twitter is willing to take things?
Also, this just shows how Twitter's platform is unstable and can't be relied upon, if someone with money can just have accounts nuked from orbit. I know I would be better off self-hosting a blog, where I don't have to worry about fraudulent DMCA takedowns.

One of the first big signs to me of Twitter being untrustworthy and not something to continue using was during the London (?) Olympics when a journalist was banned from Twitter at NBC's request for mocking NBC's coverage.
