My eBay account of 20 years got cancelled because I followed their customer support's suggestion of opening a new one. And now I can't sell on eBay anymore: https://tsak.dev/posts/the-decision-is-final-and-we-cannot-r...

Life in the sense of being able to acquire food and shelter to continue being physically alive, probably. Not life as in meaning.
Any more details besides one tweet and some manual machine from the 1800s?
It's a thread; if you're not logged into Twitter then you only see the one tweet without context. (It wasn't like this before. Thanks, Elon.) You can replace "x.com" in URLs like this with "xcancel.com" or "nitter.poast.org" to get around this.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
it's regulated as part of the illicit drug supply chain. you can own a pill press just as you can a firearm, as long as you register it and follow the rules.
Cars, trousers and water are also part of that supply chain. The issue is that governments or rather politicians then to take moral panics as an opportunity to simulate activity to the people who elect them often choosing targets that cannot push back over actual utility. The argument is that regulating these kinds of "parts of the supply chain" is completely nonsensical and a waste of every-bodies time.
All of these can be used for other purposes. A pill press is far more targeted than a car, a pair of trousers, or a gallon of water.

"Hell, eBay OWNS @TCGplayer, the website I've given the past several years of my life to. They know me. They know I'm honest. They're still sending me paychecks for the last of my articles there. But I'm too dangerous to ever sell on their platform again. Because I sold THAT."
If she can't get through to someone who can review the situation through a rational, human lens and provide some real help, what hope does anyone else caught up in their automated bot dragnet have?
