Those people were caught committing a crime. And it's not the kind of crime one could commit by mistake, they were entering a country illegally.

Pretty sure like 0.001% of those accounts did that. But it's a good excuse, granted.
I think the real reason they got banned is that under every tweet of every blue-checkmark liberal on Twitter you'd find dozens of replies of accounts called NPC209834029 with the same avatar nodding and saying the same platitudes. But of course, when all the replies to all Trump tweets are from blue-checkmarks shitting on him, Twitter doesn't seem to care. :P I think neither should be banned, but I guess they know better.

My personal guide about web typography:
Don't change the user's default text spacing, indentation, justification. Respect his and his system's choices.

On the other hand, writing self-righteous comments about how superior you are for seeing emojis as immature is very mature.
