And while both sides will present this as trying to deliver the best for their customers, that's the lie.
This is about fractions of cents & gobbling up more data for the panopticon of information about users that can be sold & resold over & over even if they always keep to keep showing you ads for things you just actually purchased.
This has happened from the beginning of content over wires, and yet none of them have spent the time to hammer out the details except for those times every few years when they screw customers for weeks over some cents.
We've always done it like this, it is always a shit show, it always ends up harming our customers but we can't bother with that... shareholder value!!!!!!
Imagine a world where they put this much effort into making sure customers were getting the best experience instead of treating them as a cash crop to be harvested that should be happy with 5 channels.

It has been over 70 days with no response.
I do not have a mobile phone, I can not provide a phone number.
From the lack of response, can I just assume that this is a soft permaban?
Some suggest I am being punished for not being polite in my communications, we are now over 70 days for a 'punishment' that was set at 12 hours. Am I allowed to be upset & irate now?
You are punishing me for being poor, a cell phone is a luxury and refusing to help me reflects poorly on the company & highlights how policy is unevenly applied.
A tweet that did not spread misinformation has been leveraged into 70 days of denying me the ability to remove the tweet & resume tweeting.
This is not a contest of wills, I DO NOT OWN A CELL PHONE.
I CAN NOT GIVE YOU WHAT I DO NOT HAVE.
If there is no intention of assisting me & leaving me locked out just tell me.
Content moderation at scale is impossible, but the decision to ignore me repeating I can not give you the phone number I do not have, for a cell phone I do not own, so I can get a text so then I can delete the tweet.
This continuing over 2 months is punishment or attempting to extract a cellphone number so you can know who I really am.
Neither of those options reflect well on the company.
I use a pseudonym, I have been targeted in lawsuits seeking to unmask me, so I protect my actual identity.
If the new policy is no one on twitter can be anonymous perhaps just admit it rather than play silly games like this to obtain identifying information about who users are.
70 Days.
I have to believe that this is targeting me for something much larger than a single tweet mocking covid deniers that magically was called spreading misinformation.
This is abusive behavior.
In the middle of a pandemic you've cut me off from what passes for social interaction & just ignore me while demanding something I can not give you as the key to getting back into my account.
You are not being the person Mr. Rodgers wanted you to be, and this entire incident is a completely shameful abuse of power on the part of twitter.
Perhaps you hoped I would just go away rather than having to figure out how to explain it taking 70+ days to provide any response or assistance.
I am still here, I do not own a cell phone so I can not provide a phone number. Would someone please help me now?

Hey Karl, might be time to find that tweet from Blackburn talking about how Tenn lets people choose & not tell them what to do & put her into a corner asking why if we are free to make choices, why aren't we able to chose what channels we want.

How dare you make a profit off of our inability to notice our customers WANTED this information & we didn't share it in an easy to find way so someone else did.
Have we tested the trademark lawyers for lead exposure?
How else can one explain these idiotic tonedeaf attempts to earn their retainers.

"No policymaker would allow a company to dump toxic waste into a river upstream of a thriving town he is charged with governing."
Said by the man who grabbed his kids & fled his home state during a MASSIVE emergency to party in a nation he claims is evil & attacking us.
Also someone might want to show Ted the THOUSANDS of cases of elected officials screwing those they were meant to represent & protect because the donations were large enough to keep them in office in the face of the bodycount their actions caused.

The problem is you don't think you can find all of the stupid, be me... on season 300,000 (give or take) of the "Hold my beer show" where they keep doing the same damn things over and over pretending they never happened before & there was no way to see it might end poorly.

How does a charity that makes less than 50K a year, so they don't have to file IRS docs so CharityNavigator can't review them manage to get lots of ears on capitol hill listening to them?
Also one wonders why former Ambassadors get to keep their titles.
I mean I get POTUS keeping a title but like why do all of the little people get to keep using them?
Their webpage snerk talks about how they want to form oversight boards that can punish private companies for not living up to the standards they want to enforce on the world.
Also the ever amorphous dark/deep web fear mongering that we should punish the back ends that provide them service to stop the bad bad bad things we just know are there.
And because we know I am a bad person....
He isn't going to earn a sticky gold star, he can wear on his lapel, for filing this misguided idiotic lawsuit.
(yeah yeah yeah going to hell, heard it before)
To put this in really clear terms even the screamers can understand...
This lawsuit is like someone suing a steel company, because they heard that one time someone got drunk & did doughnuts in yards with their car and they are terrified it will happen to them... Oh and their own car is now worth less because idiots can do stupid things with their cars.
Because of this they are owed all the monies.
Of course this lawsuit exists just so they can cry more about 230 making it so the evil in the world can happen because we can't force private companies to checks notes hack a 3rd company & make sure those users never say anything offensive.
Given the state of the debate on 230, this will be a talking point repeated on Capitol Hill about why we should gut 230.
lightbulb moment
What if we tell them that Covid is protecting 230 so if they want to wipe it out they should really push vaccinations. Their dumb enough to believe it.
