This rule was rarely (if ever) enforced when people would change their account name temporarily as a one-off joke. Also from the page you linked: > When we receive a valid impersonation or trademark report about an account that is not in compliance with our Policy, we may give the account owner the opportunity to bring their account into compliance and we may temporarily suspend the account. Accounts with a history of repeated violations may be permanently suspended. Musk’s decree is clearly a break from previous policy.

> Musk’s decree is clearly a break from previous policy. The policy's wording gives leeway for Twitter to enforce it in different ways. I wouldn't say that this case is a break from previous policy. He's may be changing the way it was being enforced previously while still remaining in policy. That's all to say he hasn't changed previous policy, he has changed enforcement of it. If people think that's a jerk move, fine. I don't think so. Breaking the rules is breaking the rules whether enforced or not. If he actually changed previous policy (i.e. changed wording/meaning/essence) or went outside the policy to punish Kathy, then I would agree that would be a jerk move.
