What did he say that violates the rules?
- krapp 4y agoI'm not re litigating this. Twitter's stated position and rationale are well known at this point[0], and this issue has been argued to death by now. Here's the HN thread with over 2K comments[1]. Any possible iteration of a conversation we would have on the matter is likely already there. If you believe the only reason Donald Trump was banned was due to a conspiracy of political censorship, or refuse to at least recognize the relevance of the date and context under which that ban was issued, then it would be a waste of time to convince you otherwise.

- veltas 4y agoI'm asking specifically what he says that violates the rules because you said they bended over backwards for him. I'm interested to see examples of obvious bad tweets, you don't know me but I assure you I'm am honest person who is willing to change their mind with new information. I will admit so far I'm unconvinced that Trump's treatment wasn't political, but I'm not American or a Twitter regular so didn't follow it too closely. I'm not including the two tweets they actually banned him for because it's quite clear their interpretation of those tweets is highly subjective (I'm not ignoring the context there, context always matters, but even with context the idea that his tweets were "glorifying violence" seems to be some heavy extrapolation of what was said). Their decision to ban him then is obviously because of public and internal pressure mounting with the capital riot. So I'm more interested in what they essentially 'bent over backwards for'.
