Users: social media is too addictive. Twitter: we're testing out a new safe word feature to address that. They should keep this. Randomly pick a new word each day, anybody who says it gets locked for a day.
Didn't Pee Wee Herman do something like that?
Ugh...I have a HN Twitter bot that just tried to post this and it got locked. https://www.twitter.com/hackernewstop10
The reason for the ban is “revealing private information”. It seems to be related to a Dutch soccer player Memphis Depay. https://twitter.com/OL_English/status/1371121328649076744
I'm now enjoying a 12 hour ban from Twitter

I’m curious, How were those killfiles different than muting or blocking on Twitter? Usenet was a little before my time.
It's like muting users. Or muting messages by topic. Essentially a more advanced and useful technology than any of the social networks offer today.
As Twitter has been accepted as the ultimate arbiter of what may be said, I suggest the city of Memphis rename itself "Graceland," thus pleasing all the Elvis fans, boosting tourism, and avoiding sticky complications about legal technicalities.
What about Memphis, Egypt?

Just a small anecdote: I created a company account, then set the birthday to ~1 year ago, when the company was registered. Everything was fine for 5 minutes, then my account has been blocked with a notification telling me that I need to be at least 13 years old to use Twitter. I can still login but cannot access the settings to change the birthday (or just remove it) as a screen “fix your age or prove your identity”…
Most hilarious one related to the 13yo boobytrap was that they lock you out if your date of registration predates your 13th birthday, regardless of how long ago it was. Like, if you were younger than 13 at some point, and you didn’t prove yourself that you’re no longer 13, it can’t be ruled out that you potentially haven’t aged since, by Twitter logic. Seen through survivorship bias it’s obvious that you may never se…
No, that’s due to the fact that they don’t want to store any data about yourself from when you were under 13 years old. I had this happen to me when I changed my account age and it said it had to delete all tweets (amongst other info) from when I was https://help.twitter.com/en/managing-your-account/account-re...

Eventually everyone will get locked, and Twitter will be a much better place by virtue of having no users.
It'd be interesting to see Twitter adopt the old "Robot 9000" automod rules, where every tweet would have to be unique from all previous tweets system-wide or else you get a temporary ban that exponentially grows in length after every infraction.
There are only 10 pages visible on 4chan, did that rule only apply to visible content or all past content aswell?
