>Twitter's motives to suspend an account for reporting court proceedings
It's clear Twitter suspended the account for TOS violations, and not the subject matter.
I have no dog in this fight, do not follow the case, but a quick search of Twitter yielded these not-suspended accounts that are "reporting court proceedings" as you say:
https://twitter.com/USvMaxwell https://twitter.com/USvMaxwell
https://twitter.com/Trial_Tracker https://twitter.com/Trial_Tracker
https://twitter.com/CultStateDotCom https://twitter.com/CultStateDotCom
https://twitter.com/MaxwellTrial https://twitter.com/MaxwellTrial
There are dozens at first glance.
There is even a trial tracker tracker...

So, @hxkandbe's request that we use the suspended account's blog post about the suspension to add some context and clarity is in no way suppressing the discussion, but instead seeking to elevate and inform it.
- adam_arthur 5y agoIt's always TOS violations when convenient. Plenty of accounts violate TOS and go untouched. Not casting judgment on this specific case, but the ease with which it's possible to selectively apply TOS to bans should be concerning to free speech oriented people. Just make a broad TOS and you can ban anybody you like.
