When I was busted for calling myself faggot for promoting hatred towards others...
Tweet was 2 yrs old, no one in the conversation complained then or later. I pointed out I called myself faggot & had asked myself if I was offended by my use of the word and I was not.
A human "reviewed" my appeal & said it would stay in place b/c I had promoted hatred towards others.
Many favors asked & a story on TD and MAGICALLY I wasn't promoting hatred towards others. Of course this was back when if enough sock puppets reported a tweet they nuked you from orbit.
Of course that human was unable or unwilling to answer the simple question - how is calling MYSELF a name promoting hatred towards others. Logic was not allowed, just a kneejerk reaction because some "people" complained that I was promoting hatred towards others by using the word about myself when I could pull up a search on twitter for faggot and get thousands of results of people using it (not always nicely) who weren't in trouble.
In a stupid attempt to silence someone else I tweeted with (whom they assumed I was a sock for b/c I questioned their intelligence & parentage) they took me out & Twitters bullshit system failed every single possible test of there being any chance of a meaningful review.
It is not an easy job, but how many people are in TwitMo who don't have access to the people & platforms I do?
How many can't get a review of statements in context?
How many are doing time b/c they lack a cellphone?
How many are doing time b/c a word offended someone somewhere enough to hit report?
How many are doing time b/c rather than block people, they encourage their followers to file complaints?
I've been busted 3 times for doing "bad" things (also 2 DMCA strikes b/c some asshole at UMG does not understand fair use & is a giant flaming asshole & handing UMG my name to appeal... hell no) 2 of them got me apology's (as lacking as they were) for mistakes/problems in their system... I get I am a lightning rod for knee jerk responses (trendy avatar and so forth) but how many times can you arrest the 1 black man in town for a crime before people start to question if the system defaults to arrest the black dude & make him prove he didn't rob that house where a white dude was seen fleeing?

No one cares because they are bad people, if they weren't bad people they wouldn't be in prison. $24 million to what I am sure is a powerful donor, for a system unable to do the job. Perhaps some of them need to be imprisoned with this system running their release dates.

Re:

I don't have a cell number to give them, to get a code that proves its my cell number. Why/How having a cell number associated with me would change any fscking thing makes no sense, but then I think I'm an immortal sociopath and I am way more grounded than people in support.
Cause I guess bad actors can't just get burners and bypass their stupid steps, but us poor folks can just FOAD until someone in support decides to actually read where I told them 15 times I don't have a fscking cellphone.

I am very sure they did not look as deeply into this as at least I would have liked, because it shows systemic failures of the justice system to actually do that justice thing.

Prenda is utter scum, but they had money.
If the target has money DoJ is terrified they might put up a decent fight & they might not win. So they cut deals to get huge piles of evidence to bury Hans under club fed... but not enough digging that they could have found the money they were hiding & fraud on the bankruptcy court, and the ADA shakedown scheme where the payments to the named non(? i forget) profit magically went missing...
