These big tech companies are unaccountable to anyone except shareholders (and even then, not always). Your only hope is having a friend in the company, which is a ridiculous way of solving problems.

Given a bad situation, the best solution is to just stop using Twitter. A week without it and you won't miss it.

I fear you are correct regarding the accountability unfortunately.

For me, I wasn't active on Twitter as far as tweeting [0] but I was actively reading what my connections were posting.

I've already come to the conclusion that if I don't get my account back I will not be using Twitter for personal use.
