Tweet is addressed to several accounts, one of them is KyivIndependent which reports Ukraine related news. The tweet looks like a death wish from RU supporter.
You get your account blocked for schoolyard level behavior like that? It's not even a serious threat, it's childish emoting. I'd expect people can say "I wish all [opposing football team] players would die in a fire!" without official consequence. Maybe receive some angry tweets in response, maybe have some individuals unfollow me, but not an existential threat from the administrators. I wonder if the same group or individual who made the post also had the authority to have it flagged. But why?
I'd hate to have invested years participating and contributing, and then have something as absurd as this happen. Especially since there's no clear indication from the administrators as to what exactly is going on.
So it wasn't as a reply to anything? Pretty weird. I'm about as far from a RU supporter as it gets, as my very extensive tweet history amply documents.
But it would be a pretty good way to discredit me.
Except it doesn’t. Twitter doesn’t usually ban accounts for tweets like these. And when they do, they’ll automatically unban you if you delete the tweet.
It’s not like someone randomly tweeted child pornography or bomb threats from his account.
The fact that jacquesm could immediately recover his account by deleting this tweet completely discredits this theory.
