Btw, Alt spicer mic has (again) been banned from Twitter for posting legal docs, which is completely legal.
The ban came because of "fratting", or basically trolls pro putin/trumpers sent multiple requests to Twitter as a pile on complaint to shut her up.
AAAAND complicit Twitter, that said they were snuffing out bot accts, failed to live up to that assurance.
Because you can't keep a good woman down, Alt Spic Mic can NOW be found Here:

(62,444 posts)Basically anyone outing Jared or any of Trump/Putin's criminal network has been the target of a process called "fratting" to silence them.
Twitter promised to clamp down on bots & troll farm disrupters but seems to have reniged on that promise & gone back to its usual ways.
They are being called out & that is what is going on here.
Fratting is a method of intentional pile-on reporting of someone or their acct to get them suspended or banned.
In this case fratting was used by pro Putin/Trump trolls sending a self replicating message to Twitter, via bot accts, to convince Twitter that Alt Spic Mic's acct was disruptive or fake.
It isn't.
Twitter will ban an acct if enough complaints are filed.
Much like here on DU when one poster is alerted on repeatedly by an entire group with the sole purpose of getting that poster banned.
Works the same way on Twitter, but in this case we are talking about hundreds of fake bot accts replicating a message sent by one person manning the troll farm.
And THAT is the gist of this complaint by Garland, & his posters.
Twitter's promise to clean up the bot accts was a big fat lie.
Ms. Toad
(34,070 posts)gotten 3 confirmations that a specific post was in violation of the TOS, and not even the offending post is removed (which is why I've reported it 4 times).
I report it, they determine it violates their TOS, nothing happens, I report it, . . .

(6,288 posts)She will end up going to court to prove her acct was hit by bots. That she did nothing to violate Twitter.
That's how she had to make her last acct right again with Twitter.
We are witnessing, with her acct today, what took place all through 2015/16 as to shutting out online & social media voices against Trump & the Republican Party.
FB & Twitter are as complicit today as they were then
This is what we're still up against.
