Review of Twitter

Twitter is running on authoritarian scare tactics....

Twitter is running on authoritarian scare tactics. There has been a spike lately in wrongfully banned, suspended, and locked accounts, and I was hit a little over a week ago after making an innocuous reply to someone I follow. My account was locked under the accusation that I was a bot, when there was clearly no evidence to support this. I ve been locked out now a total of five times since then, whenever I tweet one account in particular. I m in no way in violation of any of the rules, however Twitter zeros support or insight into why your account has been targeted, only pointing to you their rules with subtle threats that if you do not follow them (tweeting how they want you to tweet, only interacting with people they see fit) your account could be suspended indefinitely. I have found no work around to this problem other than to create a secondary account, which I can interact with this one particular account without issue. In the process I ve lost most of my following. Twitter Support is joke and entirely automated, the biggest irony when you ve been accused of being a bot. There is no legitimate support, I have tried opening multiple tickets, even claiming my account has been hacked, and still nothing. There s no a living, breathing person working at this joke of a business.
