The issue is law.
If a "ban" was considered "defamation" and you could take a FAANG to court and be awarded $1 Million in damages, suddenly FAANGs would be superb at avoiding false positive bans.
- samatman 3y agoThere's a kernel of a good idea here, but banning someone from a platform isn't defamation by any reasonable interpretation.
- bsder 3y agoIn what way are unwarranted bans not defamation? Anyone who used to see your account and watched it suddenly go away is under the impression that you "did something bad which got you banned". That is a public statement about your character. If you did NOT do something bad, that should be actionable.
