Dang. My fault for posting w/o my glasses.
I find the case problematic. I base that on my support of a LGBT nightclub in AU that banned binaries.

I don't see how this makes Gov-compelled speech constitutional or in any way wise.

People behind banned accounts lost the ability to tweet from that one account. "lose access" hints at being unable to read tweets or being unable to tweet from other accounts. It's a fairly poor description of what happened.
