Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning.

This will be clearly identified as a condition for signing up to Twitter Blue.

That's a new one on me. But then, I haven't really been paying much attention to what goes on over there.

Edited to add: Okay, so I googled and I know what that means now, good luck, Elon, you chipmunk-cheeked, flaming narcissist.

Then the totalitarian mollusk requires editing.

Then the eloon will require that the comedian delivers lines he has written.

If there is another way for him to shit in his nest he will find it.

Driving advertisers away and threatening journalists wasn't enough.

Now he insists on registration before you can be licensed to deliver comedy.

I mean you can make a long list of things that eLoon Mollusk might be impersonating. A genius, a businessman, a visionary, and if you're really unkind human.

Justice matters.

I could create an infinite amount of new accounts from all over the world using my VPN app as soon as one would get "permanently suspended" but it would be such a waste of my time that I just quit that asshole's toy yesterday.

That whole "permanently suspended" BS is so childish, so ridiculous.
