They suspended the NY Post account for over 2 weeks. (only lifting the suspension as their policy evolved).

Eh, it’s kind of between banning the article and banning the account I suppose. They froze the account until the Post deleted the 6 offending tweets, and the Post declined to do that. Again would be a very believable standoff with any publisher once the story was in question.

Twitter can delete the tweets themselves, that whole policy is a farce and is nothing but trying to extract a coercive confession.
