On February 17, I was suspended from Twitter/X without warning. The cause was mass-reporting by Zionist activists I'd offended. My removal was justified on the basis that I violated X's "rules against violent speech." Having endlessly condemned violence on the platform - in particular, the Gaza genocide - I'm flummoxed. Not least because a post from one of my Zionist detractors, which openly calls for me to be "battered on a weekly basis" over my political views, remains extant today.
Despite repeated requests for clarity from X, I have no idea whether I will ever be reinstated. In February, I received from "support" stating the suspension will only be reversed after three months. But just a few sentences later, the email contradicted itself, stating in closing that the ban would last just a month. Meanwhile, whenever I log into X, my profile appears to have zero followers or follows, I cannot view or search anyone's tweets (including my own), and my DMs are inaccessible. Have they been erased? A landing page message reads:
"Your account is permanently in read-only mode, which means you can't post, repost, or like content. You won't be able to create new accounts."
