On: Twitter suspends account tracking Maxwell trial

[rscoots]

And yet we’re left to guess exactly what Twitter deemed us unworthy of reading.

The opaqueness of the censor is a feature not a bug.

[dewey → rscoots]

Or, as it usually happens in these cases some algorithm suspended the account because too many users reported something and it got flagged and it's not some exciting intervention of the deep state.

That is pretty unlikely and not what was proposed. Pretty sure this would not happen to accounts that are deemed reputable sources. Also I guess there are exclusion lists for prominent people that are not beholden to the TOS.

If Twitter say exactly what brought the ban, next time the scammers will know exactly what to avoid.

But the line will be clearer.

"If the criminals knew how we'd try them in court they'd know to avoid it so let's go back to the days of the star chamber!"

(Obviously courts != twitter for the pedantic among us)
