Because this is clearly bullshit.

Dont get me wrong, i totally believe there are exceptions made for specific accounts in exactly this fashion, but the stuff seen in the screenshots is just completely fabricated. Whatever this is, its not how Twitter would configure exceptions for stuff like this.

Read this for a rundown of why its either completely fabricated or at least not trustworthy

This keeps getting posted today and its fucking stupid. There are many legitimate points to criticize about Twitter and Musk so there is no point in spreading fake shit.

So you are saying that if a post is bullshit, Twitter should delete the account?

Because Twitter has a double standard when it comes to free speech.

No im just providing people with the reason for why he got banned.

But yeah you cant really expect to spread fake news about the very service you are posting on and not expect to get banned.

I mean he would probably also be banned if it was real but thats besides the point.
