The user said that they didn't mention the person's name, but that they were banned because of it. They said they appealed against the ban and that his account was not suspended.
A user said their account was locked after they were flagged for hate.
They said that their account was suspended for a week because of their comments about Trump.
It's weird that one dude gets to decide if a billion people can communicate or not.
According to one account, they received a notice from the social networking site telling them that they couldn't defend elon musk if he had a girl and a long hair. Someone said they got the same notification after they said that Musk was a tax-avoidance whore.
Musk floated the idea of creating a "content moderation council" that would be made up of people with different viewpoints.
He said at the time that no accounts would be restored before the council met up, but has since allowed Trump back on the platform.
Musk also said that people who had their accounts suspended for "minor and dubious" reasons would be released from "Twitter jail."A request for comment from Insider was not responded to.
