Seems like they are combing profile key words and punting users the last 24 hours. Harmless phrases, acronyms from words Kennedy said. Nothing hateful or inciting but does label them as identifying with a certain spirit or community.
I don't understand something: wouldn't that be extremely bad for twitter? i mean they need subscribers for pushing their advertising, or so i was told.

Actually Glenn Greenwald is the most credible journalist in my opinion. Who speaks to power no matter what.
I have a word with right wing friends. For years and years you supported removal Palestinian activists from Twitter or any other platform. I think you understand what it feels.
We've banned this account for obvious reasons, and if you keep creating accounts to abuse HN we will ban your main account as well. No more of this please.
