Man Squiggs is the nom de plume of a Twitter consumer who would somewhat not use his actual title — so he’s not banned in actual life.
I used to tweet beneath the deal with Man Squiggs. In October 2020, when pictures from Hunter Biden’s laptop computer leaked on-line, I made a decision to publish one.
The picture confirmed Hunter exposing himself (which was censored previous to being posted on Twitter). Behind Hunter, nonetheless, was a balcony the place a lady was sitting. She seemed to be younger, however the query was how younger? That was the query, and that was the purpose of the complete tweet.
For that, my account was shut down.
Now I do know why. Journalist Matt Taibbi revealed a lot of inside Twitter paperwork, together with an change dated Oct. 24, 2020: “Extra to evaluation from the Biden crew.” It included the hyperlinks to 5 tweets, together with mine. “Dealt with these,” got here the reply.
Why was I “dealt with?” The media, nonetheless protecting for Joe Biden, says the reply is clear. “Elon Musk’s hyped ‘Twitter Recordsdata’ present Biden marketing campaign requested to take away Hunter Biden nude pictures,” Salon writes, including that this was “Twitter’s personal coverage.”
In different phrases, nothing to see right here!
Besides there was no nudity in my publish. I particularly blocked it out. My tweet violated no coverage besides the unwritten one: Don’t make the Bidens look dangerous.
I now tweet at a brand new account, @SquigglyFella, which I’ve referred to as Man Squiggs the Banned. Now I name it Man Squiggs the Dealt with.
However I’ve a request of Elon Musk. I admire what you’re doing by releasing these paperwork and exhibiting that there was no motive for me to be banned or dealt with within the first place.
So … can I’ve my outdated account again?
That account vindicates every little thing conservatives believed was occurring towards them however now has been confirmed. I’d take a certain quantity of satisfaction to go from Squiggs the Banned to Squiggs the Reinstated.
