I fully support suspensions, particularly in this case. However, I don't believe a permanent ban for illegal activity is ever warranted, and particularly not in cases where (unfortunately) no guilty verdict was ever given. I think it's fundamentally not an issue with right/left politics but of subtle philosophical differences over speech, society, and technology. If twitter has a certain form of monopoly on some aspect of public discourse then it's (arguably) in the public good to keep people on it by default. "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" kind of thinking.
