That may be the written policy, but there were widespread reports of mastodon ('s largest sites) being considered too harmful a link to be put in a twitter bio.

I don't see PG reacting to that news on twitter. Is there a reaction anywhere?

I saw that and assumed (maybe wrongly) that it was an automated ban from some internal automod-like system running amuck and due to the layoffs/quits/staff issues no body at Twitter knowing how to disable it. Guess the jury is still out, but does anybody know if that same error is showing up for facebook links for example? If so it's a smoking gun.
