“Elon Musk should pay taxes” now considered by Twitter TOS to be hate speech

It's literally a quote from an old Saturday Night Live skit that Dan Aykroyd used to do. It wasn't directed at anybody or anything.

So much for humor & free speech at Twitter. I did submit an appeal, but it's been a week and no reply. Meanwhile, Qanon is back on Twitter. I'd be happy to use it in a read-only mode but it doesn't show the people or accounts I follow, which is useless.

Edit: I find the downvotes to be quite interesting. I have the feeling that in some ways moderation on tech like Twitter + Meta is experiencing a clash of generations. What was mainstream comedy 30 years ago is quite different than today.

This is the same kind of thing the right was highly paranoid about and instantly believed every mistake or claim. It's deja vu.
