Try to get a Justice Initiative verified or a personal activist account, you won't get verified, but @twitter verified countless figures of the US far-right without any objection.

So @Twitterdev Automated Governance with post moderation : Twitter has automated systems that find and disable abusive API keys in bulk. Unfortunately, it looks like your application got caught up in one of these spam groups by mistake. We have reactivated the API key and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Voices from the open web : Suspended from the birdsite since Nov 2020, I'm still trying to get unsuspended, only if for the archive of a decade of tweets, but I don't have much hope there..
deplatforming can be automated, without possibilities of appeal, you don't even need to have breached anything, you just need to be profiled the wrong way and some algorithm will wipe your existence out of it, without even the slightest chance of appeal.

Twitter is doing automated moderation based on shadowy algorithms, total lack of accountability, transparency or democratic governance.

Its not new, but platforms are rogue and cannot be trusted, no matter where you stand in the political spectrum.

Getting a bunch of birdsite twitter accounts back online after months of suspensions, without any provided reasons..

There is irony in the fact that not even a decade of trying to establish decentralization via alternatives to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube have all mostly failed but the current context and the tech giant control have pushed millions of radicalized to Parler/Gab

It's crazy how a simple link can get you locked or suspended from Twitter, a link denouncing the host of CP material also behind 8kun, that gets you suspended at the birdsite, meanwhile all kinds of white supremacist are free roaming the platform in full impunity.

I'm so glad there is the fediverse.
