I can update this table periodically as Elon starts to unban more and more people. 16.4% restoration so far. Obviously this ignores the countless unknowns that have been banned. Generally, only the famous people are in this one (sourced from Wiki's list here).
Greens are good! That means Elon is keeping to his promises. Pale red are neutral - Elon has yet to unban these.
But deep red is bad. This means Elon is being hypocritical. We want as few of these as possible.
Keeping the column for Reason would be informative, though a couple of them have it in More Info. I had to look at the article to find out why Mike Lindell was suspended. Not surprised. Though banning accounts like his, CodeMonkeyZ, PatrickByrne, TrackerTrial, and LiMengYAN119 would seem to only add fuel to "conspiracy theories". Did twitter moderators never hear about the Streisand Effect?
Part of me thinks that Elon is playing the long game with the unbannings. Unbanning Alex Jones, especially with the civil suit, is putting too much heat on a platform that's already in the sights of many litigious, regulatory entities.
Why shouldn't she be brought back?
I'm a bit of a free speech totalitarian (at least within US law), so I think it's good that they're all back.
I really dont see the problem with idiots being able to talk on twitter. Unban them all!
She's an idiot then. Thing is, I'm not sure if it's warranted she should go in the table anyway, because she only had 60.6K subscribers. I'm in two minds whether to keep the "Picks from the rest" data in the final percentage result.
