Talking to former Twitter trust & safety folks... and they note that *normally* under existing policy, accounts are supposed to get strikes for violating policy, not be immediately permabanned.

Remember how Elon said no content moderation policies have changed?

Well, I'd say... that's changed.

@mmasnick Weren't offending posts just supposed to be "deboosted", and no one ever banned? Whatever happened to that?
@Cokomon lol. thrown out like last week's garbage.
