Mike, as I asked over on Ken’s post …. this is horribly bad legal advice, research and writing.
What are the odds that some algorithm (ChatGPT et al) was ate play?
Also, it’s creepy that the law firm has people weighing in on a Reddit thread, including seeking litigants for class action. 🤦🏼♀️
Dear BJB:
I have never violated the Twitter TOS.
Twitter has never given me a warning or put me in temporary jail.
I have had a tweet published with a “sensitive content” warning one other time (also in the EM era - this account is from April 2007). Like this one, it contained a link to a major news organization.
Twitter did not hold the tweet in limbo; my appealing the decision resulted in no action. The warning stayed up, as did my account.
Yes I have criticized EM behavior. That’s not a TOS violation.
Less than 12 hours after this story, my primary account magically worked. Another TY to Mike and TechDirt.
The tweet that I had appealed is live with a “sensitive content” warning. It’s not sensitive under Twitter’s published rules. I have not seen that warning on other shares of the story, but I’ve also not found many (using basic search).
My backup account (kathygill) remains blocked.
Thanks, Mike.
I’m guessing it was an algorithmic error - how else can Musk run the company given how many people he forced out?
Given my form letter after appealing the suspension, either additional manpower is needed or the automatic suspensions are out of context: “high volume of requests … 5-7 days to review and respond.”
As I told Mike, I’ve never been in Twitter jail. I have had another news link inappropriately flagged as “sensitive content”, however.
(I had to create a new account. Can’t remember password or what email is on the other one. I read, don’t comment!)
Techdirt has not posted any stories submitted by Kathy E. Gill.
Orgsnic or algorithmic?

Show me a TOS violation (hint: you can’t)
