So they host articles that complain about being banned on Twitter, but are ok with banning entire countries?
The article isn't about being banned on Twitter. It's about automated moderation (a side effect of which is, yes, a Twitter ban.)
I fail to see why also discussing the reason of the ban takes anything away from my original point.
It's interesting to read the comments here and the debate around whether social media counts as a public square or not. Ultimately, the web, and social media, is where a majority of our citizens spend a large chunk of their time. While it's certainly true, that you don't _need_ to access them to live your life, for the vast majority of us it would be more than an inconvenience to be banned. In all other aspects of ou…
Okay, but how? Every time I see calls for regulation, I don't see any specifics.
Regulation isn't a magic wand that solves all problems you don't like while keeping the parts you want to keep. We got regulation for cookies, and now we're all doomed to click cookie banners on every website we visit forever.
What exact regulations would you apply to Twitter to solve this problem without forcing the companies out of business? Any solution that ends up requiring Twitter to fend off constant legal battles from people angry about being banned or requires scores of humans to moderate content to some government-stated standards or face expensive fines just doesn't work. If US websites were suddenly subject to onerous legal standards that weren't required elsewhere, companies would move their headquarters to other countries ASAP.

By deleting your account at services that show such a licentious behaviour, you can cast your democratic vote against such services.

What is the clear path?
I mean, in this case, I’d likely keep forcing the review too. This is clearly just a bad detection

Twitter's content moderation didn't work here. It banned someone incorrectly. That person used the appeal process and was denied, even though the content in question unequivocally does not violate the cited rule.
Twitter has no obligation to host anyone's content, and they are within their rights to deny service to someone whenever and for just about whatever reason they want. But this is how you're supposed to handle it! If you've been mistreated by Twitter, you say something, people see it, and they take it into consideration when thinking whether they'd like to start/continue using Twitter.

Delete the offending tweet.

"broken link" is indeed not the only problem with NFTs, but I'm keen to hear your perspective on NFT use-cases.
ENS (web3 domains), mirror.xyz (publishing), shibuya.xyz (video content), sunflower land (gamefi), membership nfts (bayc). There are more used cases that are experimental. But "broken links" is why I do not take HN users seriously about web3.
I understand that innovations do happen but the complexities (like smart contracts), the limitations of an append only database (that only store transactions and signatures), the damage done to our environment (CO2), the impact on electronic availability (video card shortages), the criminal uses of crypto and the life savings lost to a gambling like international market does make you wonder if this is all worth it.
I’m open to be proven wrong but I personally think that web3 and crypto, while very interesting, don’t have the attributes required to be a worthy innovation path for humankind
