[nutildah]

I didn't realize they had a Twitter account (well why wouldn't they), but anyway, good job!

I have mixed feelings about it. I believe in freedom of speech, and therefore can't agree with banning of social media accounts. But at the same time, this particular account was indulging in all out fraud and identity theft. Perhaps nuking the account was the only effective way of dealing with it, and to prevent scamming of unsuspecting cryptocurrency users.

Freedom of speech as a concept only applies to governments. Private parties have a full right to kick anyone out of their platform without even explaining anything. If it wasn't so, it would be a violation of platform's freedom to choose who to deal with. Social media is not some public good, it's a business like any other.

Yeah. I bet OP is being bombarded with messages right now from those BSV folks. I doubt that they will be able to appeal this though since this is a clear violation of twitter rule under Impersonation policy. They will most likely make new twitter account or use other twitter accounts.

Still not hatemail, BSV trolls aren't really that numerous. Besides, it's not like I alone reported that account, it takes many reports to see a ban.

Accounts have been banned before and people creates new account for the same purpose and they continue what they are doing before but now with the consciousness that someone is checking on them. While this is good to send a message concerning their misrepresentation, I don't see it making any difference because alot of people in crypto might not even be following the account or aware that there is an account for it to be noticed that it's been banned.

I hope that the BSV folks will not take it personally as Jack Dorsey is also a known bitcoin guy.

There's a legitimate reason if their twitter has been banned. Maybe they can appeal to twitter and reinstate their account, is that possible on twitter right?

If they will create a new account and do this again, they might get the same result.

Of course, they will take it personally, they are fan-atics and will defend BSV to the death and will likely attack Jack Dorsey in public.

I hope not, it's the decision made by twitter not by Jack.

If they found out that they have violated their ToS then it is banned, no reinstated. Yes, they can appeal, but I don't think that Twitter will give that handle back.

Most likely won't but they have option to make a new one but could violate again if they will do the same thing.

I really don't trust and like this fork coin from bitcoin, It was purely made to make profit to its creator. I hope they all banned those so called fork and out their circulation for eternity.

I seriously don't get it, why claiming to be Bitcoin or rather the original Bitcoin when it's obvious everyone knows the truth and real Bitcoin. I think twitter did the right thing because I see it as identity theft and hence the appropriate actions had to be taken. This is because, with them claiming to be the real Bitcoin on Twitter, taking into account there are many novice about the crypto space, they can easily believe it's the truth thus investing the wrong way. So the right thing is being done, and if they are serious about the coin, then they should do the right thing and not looking for who (newbies) to mislead.

BSV's actions to misrepresent Bitcoin were unacceptable. We live in a community that is vulnerable to information and fake news can harm many people.
Twitter did the right thing to block BSV activity.

After getting some from bitcoin they have the audacity to call themselves the original bitcoin lol clearly unacceptable for the bitcoin community. The main reason for that most probably is they want to market the bitcoin SV as bitcoin is at the top of the crypto market right now. Twitter did a good job as deceiving audience is a violation to their rules. Now if Bitcoin gets to have new twitter account, kindly monitor for some unacceptable actions.

If Satoshi Nakamoto appeared I think the world would be hard to accept that and few people would believe that it is the father of bitcoin. Better let the father of bitcoin be like a fairy tale.

How did we able to put Satoshi Nakamoto on this discussion lol it was just bitcoin SV being fraud in twitter
