From your own link:

I didn't delete the tweet with the phone number because it's a publicly available government number. The Congresswoman's digital minions reported me for no reason and Twitter promptly released me after I appealed.
He isn’t banned and his post remains active. Zerohedge clickbait headline is clickbait

He was, until he appealed. The fact that he was banned at all is ridiculous and indicates that they're shielding their little favorites.

Not a fan of the reinstatement threads on this site, huh?

No. It indicates that their process for doxxing is to ban first, reinstate later.

I wish Trump would stop using Twitter and come up with his own platform. Twitter would panic.

He’s a hell of a doxxer, man. He doxxed a publicly available congressional office phone number.

He wasn’t; OP’s own link says he was suspended.


That link also says he was suspended because Twitter believed he shared a private phone number of government employees. Something which would get anyone banned regardless of the political party of the staffer/employee. The user proved them wrong, and they corrected their decision accordingly.


There’s already plenty to hate about twitter. Inventing non-existent controversy only serves to minimize their very real short comings.

I can't believe you have me defending twitter, but they banned him for a reported doxx, and then unbanned him once he appealed. They actually handled this right.

Funniest thing of the whole post?

“Free for the next 8 hours”

I’m sure that is spot on.

Over a guy who's not even top ten in number of followers deleting his account?

The people Twitter has on staff to review complaints are almost exclusively left wing SJW activists and their rulings will always reflect as such.

Which is why he was reinstated. This isn't hard.

So you think twitter should analyze every posted phone number?

Or is it more reasonable for them to temporarily ban the poster until he/she appeals the ban and explains the post?

Or do you just like to post stuff about how you feel persecuted?

Unless, of course, the target of the doxxing is a conservative white male. Then doxxing isn't a problem. Nor is calling for violence against them.
