Topic: What did mild mannered Modartt do to get suspended from Twitter?
"@modartt
Account suspended
Twitter suspends accounts which violate the Twitter Rules"
Bizarre!
Any ideas?

Some over-zealous robot scanner thought it detected something naughty, I guess...

Censorship is just a tool the powerful use. They don't need a reason.

They probably upset a snowflake. Seems to happen quite a lot these days.

Isn't this situation more like a shopkeeper refusing to sell stuff or provide services to some customers they don't like?
An unfortunate misunderstanding in the case of modartt.

Perhaps... except when the shopkeepers collectively run the most powerful country on the planet...
But in this case "Organteq" seems likely! Still land of the Puritans.

I don't understand what you're trying to say, Twitter runs the U.S (or is it China/EU)? Or is it not about Twitter? Or are you suggesting a conspiracy theory between Twitter and something?
Also, can someone explain why Organteq as a word is enough to get modartt banned? English is not my first language.

Re: What did mild mannered Modartt do to get suspended from Twitter?
Twitter (among others) is a key player/tool of US corporatism which collectively runs US policy, both domestic and foreign, via lobbying and even directly. The billionaires that own these mega companies are not your local shopkeepers simply managing inventory and trying to please the customer... As a whole, not unlike the East India (tea) Company of the British Empire. But anyway that's a giant can of worms! In this case I do think Puritanical culture could be the likely explanation for this issue (as ridiculous as it may seem). Perhaps look up the various definitions of 'organ'...

GOOGLE TRANSLATION:
ORGAN = a part of an organism which is typically self-contained and has a specific vital function.
part of the body
body part
biological structure
ORGAN = a large musical instrument having rows of pipes supplied with air from bellows (now usually electrically powered), and played using a keyboard or by an automatic mechanism. The pipes are generally arranged in ranks of a particular type, each controlled by a stop, and often into larger sets linked to separate keyboards.
What's wrong with those?
Twitter dictionary comes perhaps from pornhub or sth.. :-) :-)

So the general consensus is that it is just some tragic translation error involving innocent talk of going deep with massive hand pumped organs?

I guess the consensus is here is some snowflake programmer who watched too much Beavis and Butthead maybe put the wrong words into the algorithm that censored Modartt. Maybe, but I strongly doubt it. These algorithms are so much more sophisticated than that, not to mention they know all about you. They are designed to make money for the company. Maybe money isn't enough anymore. Maybe they just want to fix the world. How do they make really make their money and have so much power? You may be shocked at the answer. If you really want to know, I invite you to watch a very interesting video from the World Science Festival entitled: "Rethinking the Internet: How We Lost Control and How to Take it Back". Your perspective may change.

Re: What did mild mannered Modartt do to get suspended from Twitter?
Companies like Facebook, Google, and Amazon definitely have connections with US intelligence agencies and the DoD. And I'm sure they sometimes tune their algorithms to help those "customers," just as they sometimes do for their private sector advertising customers. But I don't see any benefit to censoring Modartt. So it's almost certainly a glitch.

We are not alone in such a case, and it can take a loooooong time, see https://twittercommunity.com/t/suspensi...unt/144061
The bigger company, the worse customer support.

Again censorship comes in many forms, as often it can rear its ugly head. Likely, Twitter is run by a bunch of birdbrains!
Times like this, man I am glad that also I’m a drummer because I got polyrhythms to offset algorithms.
