If these accounts were banned due to censorship they'd have stayed banned. There are plenty of accounts that were shut down on Twitter that are still disabled today.
- Timon3 2y agoAnd you know that how exactly? Do you work at Twitter? Are you responsible for banning/restoring accounts? You're making broad statements and assumptions that don't align with reality. The accounts were banned. You don't know why they were banned or restored.
- mike_hearn 2y agoI actually did work on account suspensions and abuse handling at Google, and after I left I visited Twitter and gave them a talk about bot fighting techniques, so yeah. I don't know these accounts specifically but have worked in that field and know the signs.
- Timon3 2y agoIt doesn't matter if you've worked on this at a different company, especially considering how much Musk changed about Twitter. You either know the reasons they were banned and restored or you don't - it's disingenuous to claim that a) they weren't banned, and b) to claim you know that the reasons definitely aren't XYZ.
