Twitter locked my out of my account. To get back in, Twitter’s
formulaic response stated that I must delete a tweet (see image below), even
though Twitter has already blocked users from seeing the tweet.
When I clicked through to see what was next, Twitter then
stated that by deleting the tweet, I acknowledge that I violated Twitter rules.
No, I’m sorry, I did not “misgender” anyone, if that’s to what Twitter was
referring to. I responded to Twitter that my tweet was the truth.
Can you imagine how that can be used against someone who
deletes a tweet?
I went back to try to screen grab that, and this time
Twitter said that I violated its rule about deleting the tweet to get my
account unlocked. Oh, but if I delete the tweet, I’m acknowledging that I
violated Twitters rules. No, thank you. Twitter doesn’t have the right
to saddle users with that sort of contrived baggage.
Of course, I did not violate even one rule, so I didn’t
delete the tweet, but even if I had, I wouldn’t delete the tweet and be tagged
with a laundry list of criminal activities.
My timeline is still visible for now. Perhaps Twitter is still
hoping I’ll allow it to entrap me. I imagine that after some time it will
suspend my account with the false claim that I violated its rules.
This is malice and attempted entrapment.
