Tuesday, @Twitter locked me out for doing journalism after the March 2019 shooting in NZ. I merely pointed out that a new Twitter account is the one spreading vids of the shooting. This "violation" is a strike & may help lead to a permanent suspension if I have more "violations."
I did not "appeal" their decision because I would have been locked out until some staffer decided to give me access again based on rules that are not universally applied so I removed the tweet. Twitter rules are up to the mood of staff (and the political nature of the tweet).
3/ This week is 10 years since I first tweeted Aug 6, 2009 at 4:02 PM (The tweet: https://twitter.com/yossigestetner/status/3168564311?s=21 ). This platform has many upsides but many downsides too; especially for brands/companies and especially how rules are applied here based on a whim. You can tweet things that
4/ are more modest than what many Blue Checked Libs tweet often, yet your account can get suspended (including permanently) while those Libs continue to abuse/berate others in clear violation of the rules. Read this thread from early May. https://twitter.com/yossigestetner/status/1125585335126245376?s=21
Now following the mass shootings in TX/OH, if you incite against a group based on race (and tweet harrasing stuff at Trump/GOP), @Twitter gives you a pass. But if you post other racial/ethnic-based data as part of the conversation without inciting, u will likely get suspended.
6/ A NYT editorial page editor has a long record of nasty and hateful tweets about whites and men; a clear violation of @TwitterSafety rules. Her account is up and so are those tweets. Try pulling that on any minority group or women and tell me how @Twitter reacts.
Eight hours ago, someone used Twitter to call for violence in DC. 9 hours later, the tweet is still up with 20K Likes/Retweets. A few hours ago, Aslan used abusive language direct at a person and his tweet is also up. Meanwhile, Twitter has a negative Moment about Neil Tyson.
Of the few nasty tweets today by @rezaaslan at public officials regarding the TX shooting, the harshest were aimed at a Jewish Women. Apparently this abusive language it is not a violation of Twitter Rules; probably because the target is a Trump.
Exactly as I said will be the case. Also note the race-based tweet by @sairasameerarao and the tweet by @WajahatAli praising a trending hashtag that calls for the massacre of @senatemajldr. Twitter rules are a ploy to stifle Non-Libs voices.
Another tweet that @TwitterSafety does not see as a violation despite the tweeting naming a targeted list of people and their employers in a negative context. If Cons did it, they would be suspended for "targeted harassment" or "threatening violence" or "publishing private info."
Don't tell me that political donor info is public and as such it is not private info because everyone's name/addresses is public on gov websites such as local BOEs, yet Twitter says "You may not publish or post other people's private info (such as home phone number and address)."
36 hours later and Twitter still gives a pass for Rao's race-based tweet. This place is run by gaslighting fascists frauds! Same guys who had no issue with Massacre Mitch TRENDING, suspended @Team_Mitch for posting a video showing Libs calling for violance against @senatemajldr!
Hi @NickPacilio. Does Twitter lock out "reporters" who show hate/violence being pushed by Nazis and White Supremests? It is diabolically sadistic to lock out @Team_Mitch for showcasing hate by Libs directed at Mitch and doing so a day after MASSACRE MITCH was trending for 48 hrs!
The gaslighters running Twitter are claiming today that @Team_Mitch showcasing threats against @senatemajldr is a "violent threat" violation. If true, then all videos by Journos showcasing Supremacists threats is a violation but Twitter does not treat such tweets this way.
Oh. @TwitterComms suggests they are unlocking the account because @Team_Mitch "confirmed the intent [was] to highlight" the threats. REALLY? Without this assurance, Twitter assumed @Team_Mitch posted it to spread threats against @senatemajldr?

Gaslighting way to reverse a move.
Fadebook says it will remove any and all mentions of the Whistleblower's name from its platform. This is big tech censorship to accommodate the (Democrats in) government; same as they do in China/Iran. We clowns were sure that we have a "voice" in an era of Social Media. Haha.
Only the IG of the IC can't legally release the name. But anyway. FB is censoring his name under their non-harassment/non-release of "private info" rules. Ok. Why does this WB get this treatment while other witnesses/other cases not? Clown application of this FB "rule."
Facebook is removing the name of the WB due to "coordinating harm & promoting crime." The first can essentially be said on anyone who is in the news. The second is a lie as it's not illegal for civilians to mention a WB name. PLUS, it's not clear that WB laws even apply here!
So... @ComfortablySmug is suspended for tweeting ‘Where’s Hunter, Fat? (Per @SmugIndustries).

Can you count the number of tweets - from large/small accounts, Blue Checked or otherswise - that mock Trump's appearances? You can't count because there are so many. No suspensions.
Twitter choked off a tweet by @realDonaldTrump for saying “There will never be an ‘Autonomous Zone’ in Washington D.C., as long as I’m your President. If they try they will be met with serious force!” But this missile attack threat is ok per the gaslighting hacks who run Twitter.
Per the attached tweets from Twitter Safety, Q-A-N-O-N is not initself a violation of Twitter Rules. Instead, Twitter says they will suspend those account for already being in violations of other Twitter rules (which are not applied to Trump Russia Conspiracy Theorists).
So... The attached conspiracy-based, threat of violence tweet is apparently not a violation of Twitter Rules. It has 3,300 engagements too.
Where Twitter admits that it has shadow banning capabilities.
