Anyone who tries to post revenge porn on the app should not be allowed on the platform. A video of a rocket taking off is not revenge porn and should not be flagged as such.
The situation that spaceflight photographer John Kraus was in earlier this week seems like a silly thing to say. Kraus, who was on site to photograph the historic Artemis I launch, was kicked off of the app after posting a video of the liftoff that was marked as revenge.
Tim "Everyday Astronaut" Dodd said that his friend and rocket photographer, John Kraus, had been locked out of his account on the day of the big launch. The timing is worst.
I’d like to acknowledge that our good friend and rocket photography extraordinaire @johnkrausphotos has been completely locked out of twitter since yesterday, for an arbitrary and silly reason, the day of the biggest launch of his career. Worst possible timing 🤦♂️ pic.twitter.com/USNUajwPJ4

Kraus was able to return to online today. On the day of the Artemis I launch, a rocket photographer gets kicked off of the social networking site.
I'm back after almost a week. He said that he was locked out of his account instantly after posting a benign video. The mistake was made after one of the biggest launches of my career.
There were rumors that the new owner of the company, Musk, forced a mass exodus of quitters, and that he was trying to get employees to come back so the company doesn't sink. Kraus didn't deny that Musk had something to do with it.
He said that anyone speculating that it was an ITAR violation or that it had to do with Elon Musk was wrong. The software flagged it as false.
Maybe not Musk's fault, but a mistake that now falls on his plate. Anyhow. Kraus is free and we're happy about it.
For reference, this was the original, exact tweet that got my account falsely locked for almost two days. It is now visible. Enjoy! https://t.co/Rpnaqfw6yX

The experts are confused by why the red crew wears blue shirts.
