OMG, I get sent to Twitter jail for posting this Simpsons clip. (Original Post) Initech Jul 2022 OP
What was the reason? Copyright? Animated tv shows subject to deletion? hlthe2b Jul 2022 #1
They must have thought it was a threat or something. Initech Jul 2022 #2
They have some automated bots or algorithms doing some of the suspending. CousinIT Jul 2022 #3

I don't get it. I see extremely vile political stuff every day and when I report it, nothing happens.

They are by far not perfect. But you have to assume this is partly an automated process, except if/when someone reports a tweet specifically. And there are entire groups of MAGAts whose objective it is to do that maliciously too.

I went to Twitter jail because this vile women running for congress, who had a religion cross around her neck, spewed crap about how a 10 year old rape victim must be required to give birth. I said, “waiting for that cross around her neck to begin to smolder and burst into flames”. Away to Twitter jail, I appealed but they said it was a threatening tweet! Twitter 🤬

"I don't expect anything except for you to die and for it to be a very cheap funeral! You're gonna die now!"

I can kinda see how this could be misconstrued as a threat. But not in the context I posted it.

Glad I killed my accounts about 2 years ago along with Fuckerberg’s crap.
