Taylor LorenzDec 18, 2022
Earlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am *permanently* banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

@parkermolloy @taylorlorenz I posted on Twitter about watching The Vow, and Nicki Clyne (who I've never interacted with in any way) responded with this whole weird screed. It was weird. She is out there searching social media for random users and shaming them for watching a documentary lol. Like, "You know this is behavior that just adds to the case the doc is making, right?" I am absolutely NOBODY, yelling at me does nothing for her. I didn't even mention her. One of the weirder interactions I've ever had on Twitter, which says A LOT.

There’s a Zillow link for one of the houses being listed for sale. That’s as close as I can find. Nothing about that link could be remotely called doxxing.
The article, on the other hand, shows one seriously bad person doing some very bad stuff. I can see where “Ari” might not want that clearly reported…

@anildash @taylorlorenz er, previous management.

I wonder how many of them have truly internalized the nonsense narrative that Twitter was "censoring conservatives" and actually, somehow, believe that libertarian Jack Dorsey was sitting around banning (his fellow) conservatives for no reason.

@diocletian your comparison boils down to “calling Dorsey ‘a conservative’ is like calling Mancini ‘a liberal’”.

But you know neither, so why should we give your comparison any weight (which Dash doesn’t, since he DOES know Dorsey and can thus evaluate the first half, not to mention that Manchin is an actual politician who makes his political views known all the time so we can ALL easily evaluate the second half)

According to Wikipedia, Lorenz seems to be a controversial investigative journalist, having already experience in doxing (in both ways).

I have no background on the Arianda Jacob story, but banning someone for something they may have done years ago in a different context seems very indiscriminate

I wonder if there was any due process involved here. Did Ariadna Jacob actually have to show Elon (or his subordinate) the NYT article in question so they could verify her claim? Or did they just take her word for it.

It is a dark day for journalism if they just took her word for it. If that's the case, then ANYONE could get a journalist's account suspended by lying to Elon.
