I don’t see how suspending a few journalists for 12 hours and being directly able to point to their existing TOS is the same thing.
- ceejayoz 4y agoThese bans weren’t under “their existing TOS”. The policy was rewritten after banning @elonjet to justify it retroactively. The bans weren’t 12 hours. They were eventually announced as week-long ones; Musk backed down after backlash and his public poll resulted in a “unban now” vote.
