Whether she is a good or bad comedian is an opinion and she wasn't banned for changing her name. She was banned for impersonation. Last year more than 500k accounts were banned for that. It's not new. From the head of Trust &

That's wild. It's a different world. That whole page is interesting to read. Elon: I would like to understand the technical details of the Twitter codebase. This will help me calibrate the dumbness of my suggestions. Parag: I wrot
