No?
If I say "you distribute revenge porn", I'm accusing you of a crime. There's no ambiguity there. Revenge porn is a criminal act nearly everywhere. In some states and some situations, it's even a felony, which is a significant step up in severity.
I haven't informed your local authorities that you do this. But that doesn't have any affect on whether or not I am accusing you.
>An accusation is informally stating that a person has committed an illegal or immoral act. - https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/accusation https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/accusation
Twitter has unambiguously made the claim that they are tweeting revenge porn. Twitter has clearly stated that doing so is the reason their account is banned. They're accusing them of a crime.
It's not bombastic or stretching, it's the literal description of what Twitter (via their bot and their review process) is doing.
- pvg 4y agoIf I say "you distribute revenge porn" Twitter doesn't say that, it's, again, pretty clearly spelled out in the policy. The leap from 'our system thinks this looks like revenge porn' to 'you are accused of a crime' doesn't seem to be based on anything beyond umbrage and repetition. Neither of these things make it true, though.

- Groxx 4y agoIf the system went from "our system thinks this looks like revenge porn" to "we are sending you a warning in case you are, verify that you are not doing it or change your actions immediately. you may be banned on review if it appears you did" I think you might be right. But that's not happening. It goes from "our system thinks this looks like revenge porn" to "you are banned". And even "we double checked, you are banned". If Best Buy said "your actions seem similar to thieves" and kicked you out and banned you while quoting theft laws, without checking if you had stolen something, yes. I would say they were accusing you of theft, because they are acting as if you did. Actions can accuse as well.
- pvg 4y agoThe account was suspended and, again, the policy, which you should read, makes it pretty clear that you can be suspended for Twitter being wrong about your post. It takes a lot of implicit extrapolations ('revenge porn', a term they don't use, 'banned', a thing they don't actually do in those cases, etc) to get to 'accused of a crime'. And they aren't in the thing.
- soraminazuki 4y agoUsing a synonym isn't an "implicit extrapolation." > 'revenge porn', a term they don't use Again, "non-consentual nudity" means revenge porn. https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/intimate-media https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/intimate-medi... > 'banned', a thing they don't actually do in those cases They "suspended" the account and haven't reversed it. Basically the same thing. Please, repeating a claim over and over doesn't make it any more true.
