And yet we’re left to guess exactly what Twitter deemed us unworthy of reading. The opaqueness of the censor is a feature not a bug.
If Twitter say exactly what brought the ban, next time the scammers will know exactly what to avoid.
(Obviously courts != twitter for the pedantic among us)
Is there a good case for why someone who doesn't use twitter would create an account and use it now? Trying to figure out what organic growth for them looks like.
There are plenty of reputable journalists closely following the trial including Julie K Brown, the Miami based reporter whose story broke the whole thing open a few years ago leading to these arrests: https://twitter.com/jkbjournalist Adam Klasfeld is another one I enjoy: https://twitter.com/KlasfeldReports

By handwaving this away I take it you're ok with Twitter deciding who is "reputable" and a "journalist"? There's no evidence this account violated the Twitter TOS.

Well rather than reading anonymous accounts who aggregate what real journalists are reporting from the courtroom while interspersing random conspiracy theories, it seemed useful to just link to the real journalists directly. An extra benefit is that since the journalists are reputable, their accounts are unlikely to be deleted or suspended.
“real journalists”, hmm, there it is again.
Ah! hold on, I know, it's because they are real and reputable. I'm so dumb, sorry.

Fair but it’s an appeal to authority and skirts true Scotsman but… never the less on occasion reputable journalists are leveraged to plant narratives on behalf of interested parties because they are reputable, so there is that. It’s not as though very wealthy people were not ensnared by mr Epstein and would love to keep their involvement low key.

Is it an appeal to authority to trust a primary source who is literally in the courtroom every day, instead of a random anonymous Twitter account just cribbing from primary sources?

It's possible you're reading too much into that comment. The GP may simply have been providing a PSA about where they have found useful information given that one potential source has been removed.

Wow, twitter is really unusable unless you have an account. Can't read threads or look at pictures now. Anyone have a workaround?
