What would be nice if they ban or jail you to tell you what you did, so you can avoid it in the future. I'm usually pretty careful not to violate TOUs, but no one is perfect. Anyway, they act like the Gestapo....sentence you without any accusation or reason. But I guess it's their platform, so they can do what they want.

I'll tell you that if we're serious about holding on to our Democracy, this country is going to have to realize the social media is where the modern political public square is for news and debates. Based on that, we're going to need stronger protections for Free Speech online. If we don't accomplish that, then we're finished as a country. I've always believed that Free Speech is the foundation of every other freedom. Without the ability to criticize, assemble and protest injustice or simple stupidity of our leaders, we cannot overturn bad ideas or unjust actions by our leaders. Freedom of Speech is everything. Without it, we have nothing.

SI used to be a little less Gestapo like. If they are now resorting to putting me in jail, then this place is going downhill faster than I thought.
