This sounds like a very reasonable suspension to me.

Exactly. A new account showing up out of nowhere posting nothing but links is basically exemplar spambot material.

Note that he goes into detail why he is so pissed: > It’s the “after careful review” line that has me riled up tbh. I can understand why an automated system suspended it.

  Honest question: why would the account in question not be suspended after review by a human? It's a new account that posted 75 tweets in less than 20 minutes, all linking to the same website, and with high-profile names in the title of the tweets. This looks like spam to me, I would have banned it too.

    > why would the account in question not be suspended after review by a human? A human would have. He's just pointing out something to redirect the ire. Specifically, that it says "careful", and yet a robot did the work, and presumably robots can't be full of care.

    >This looks like spam to me, I would have banned it too. Why? Is a list of episodes inherently spam? What definition are you using? I certainly wouldn't have banned this account

  This is childish though. Ben has written about Twitter long enough to know how it works. Careful review doesn't mean that a human reviewed it, just that a group of them were highly paid to implement the system of rules that banned him.

    Knowing how it works doesn't preclude being upset about it.

    I also know that the underpaid delivery person who marked "business already closed" on their app when they couldn’t find my apartment building entrance has to pick something to avoid getting paid less, that does not mean I’m not mad at the delivery company for creating the circumstances that resulted in them lying to me.
