> ... Of course, you can come up with one off examples of ML models screwing things up but it's not the intention while developing those models.

The part with "in union" is not really explained by ML models. These de-platforming actions are done manually and apparently one-sided.

Just for fun you can look up why Trump was banned on Twitter and see Khamenei's worst tweets from months prior, that were still up a week ago or so (nevermind him being banned). You find tons of those examples.

Also the TOS does not matter.

Most of the time it might not be not just what you write but what that means in the context and which actions it triggers.

That kicks you off platforms you barely use? It's manually done. Don't hide behind "the machine did it"; it doesn't make sense.

I didn't say machines banned trump, I said evaluation of his tweets was in a context, not just what's written.

Just wanna point out, that he was not only banned on Twitter. It didn't make sense there, but on Youtube, Twitch, Shopify etc, it's just stupid and not covered by any of your excuses.
