He is talking about it with Viva Frei; it's the first topic once you see Barnes come on. Twitter is giving him the run around and I doubt he will be getting it back.
Classic deplatforming from Twitter.
Have they used 'hacked' before? That's a new one for me.
Twitter have forcibly taken over people's accounts before. I forget who it was that was affected, but in late 2019 I think it was, some conservative account started posting shit that was completely out of character for them, then the account got immediately banned. It was later revealed that a "rogue" twitter employee hijacked the account and made the posts that got the account banned. IDK if the dude ever got his account back. Sorry I don't have anything any more concrete than that. It was a while ago, and I have no idea how to go about looking something like that up.
Something similar happened to Ashley Rae Goldenberg: they deverified her account because they claimed she had been "hacked" and then a month or so later banned her account.
I hope they remembered to sanitize the control panel after using it.
