These replies... How'd they feel if their accounts were banned by a random Twitter employee (a secret Trump supporter or something)? It's like these people have no self-reflection at all.

If my account was occasionally fomenting international crises, perhaps it’d be justified.

I agree, it sucks. I also think its a good moment to step back and recognize the power we've granted these sites. People calling having your twitter account deactivated as being "kicked off the internet" sounds ludicrous to me, but it speaks to the power these sites have.

The lack of internal controls is incredible.

Highly influential people use Twitter to communicate. There should be controls to prevent influential or otherwise vulnerable people from access by insiders.
