> ...deleted thousands of automated accounts...

Try not to set up thousands of automated accounts to express your opinion for you. You should be fine.

If the system identifying "automated" accounts (in thousands) is run by a party-affiliated entity, what confidence should I have that it is accurate?

You misunderstand. The DCCC just informed Twitter, which they should have the right to do. Anyone should have the right to report accounts. Twitter alone made the decision to remove them.

>what confidence should I have that it is accurate?

They provide no example accounts either, so you will never know if it's accurate. It's entirely possible they deleted legitimate accounts of real individuals at the behest of the DCCC.

Yes. Dissent is becoming an offense that can get you removed from the online public square.

Good, I was getting sick and tired of thinking for myself. Just give me my Faustian filter bubble.

I mean, if you set up thousands automated accounts on Twitter to express that dissent, yeah. Otherwise, seems like you’re good to go.

Twitter should express its opinion to ban you.
