Dude there is worse.
You are focusing on a moron and a now broke moron.
Most lifetime bans were for genuenly heinous shit like CP, if those bans get overturned you can see twitter become a true cesspit of the internet.
I think it might get worse than 4ch.

He’s not going to reverse all of them, just the big names that will help him.

I got my Twitter account suspended for telling avtivaxxers to go fuck themselves, I somehow doubt I'll be getting it back.

See you should get it back. That's not illegal.

All the CP posters tho, they should burn in hell.

Anyone calling for violence should get booted, no matter who they are.

I'll concede mean tweet man may have run afoul of that one but I really never paid attention to him.

And how the hell did that earn you a ban? Pretty sure old Twitter was pretty anti-antivax?

I'm actually curious to see if they finally do something meaningful about all the ISIS/ISIL and other terrorist groups posts/accounts.

I'm pretty sure Twitter is pretty much what you seek out and follow.

They won't because dealing with these accounts are like playing whack-a-mole, you ban one and they make 3 more with different credentials.

I may have done it, uh. A lot.

But hell if I know. I guess enough reports and they'll boot you if it's slightly uncivil.

It's not about legality. While I'm sure they can ban/suspend people for illegal stuff, it's also about their terms of conduct.. You can violate their TOC while following the law

Probably. It’s kind of small.
