#102I love the sheer number of hacker news commenters saying “Well I tried it, seems to work”. At what level do you guys go “I’m just going to assume those 10 other guys aren’t lying”
I tried it...seems to work

#103Earlier quoted context omitted.
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”…
What shocks me is there is no warning that setting a date of birth is a dangerous action. The company is just hostile to its users.
I lost my Discord account for daring to use the "change your e-mail address" feature. Nothing warned me that this was a potentially-destructive action. It happens.

And now we'll have the suspension on our record so future suspensions will be more severe. Automated moderation in action!
Random thought of mine was companies use AI to moderate. But potentially malefactors can train the AI to flag harmless stuff. And because of the opaque nature of neural networks there isn't good mechanism to undo it, except by reverting.
They didn’t kill Microsoft’s Tay - they made her auto mod.

#106Yeah, can confirm. It does work.
I don't suggest trying it, as unlocking your account requires phone no. and email verification... yikes.

#108Reminds me of The Hhitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
> Belgium is the rudest word in the Universe, yet by a strange coincidence, also the name of a country on Earth. In the Secondary Phase of the radio series, it is stated as "completely banned in all parts of the Galaxy, except in one part, where they don't know what it means, and in serious screenplays.

#109When it comes to cenrsohpip and selective enforcement of rules, twitter is the worst of the social networks. THE CEO has lied about ghosting and so many other things. terrible company.

It is not fixed yet. Twitter lets you decide if you want to appeal the block or delete the tweet. Many people will appeal.
