Ha, homeland security is back to it's old tricks. Probably not just them now, but they were submitting lists of users and social media was finding other pretexts to violate/ban them. I'm pretty sure some of my previous accounts were on those lists.

As always, they got the support to do it by stressing these rw accounts denying vaccinations and elections and the like, and then the fascists in homeland security predictably went after the left with it primarily. Often going after things like parody accounts, allowed under the rules, for making fun of political leaders. It's all dishonest. As per reporting in The Intercept at the time. The leak of information covered like twitter and FB and I forget, but I've no doubt it extends to other platforms, and other units than the one we learned about in homeland security, that is just the tip of the iceberg we can see above the reflection of that ocean of social media.

I am saying an agency gave lists of users to violate that included his, and that reddit found excuses to violate them, likely for unrelated reasons that are not even against the rules, they don't have to try, so they don't try, to enforce rules fairly. Which is why we need the fediverse to be constructed better to reach critical mass. We need clear rules and enforcements with appeals that end in jury trials of users for actions.
