Twitter cuts off API access to academics who noticed CSAM being posted

This is a very odd framing of the matter. Here, the invocation of CSAM is like some sort of stun spell.

I have no idea what you're trying to say. What is a "stun spell?"

If you are outraged (as you should be), you are unlikely to be thinking as effectively. Hence, the 'stun'.

Seems like things are returning to normal on Twitter. Maybe the Ad revenue will return next.

Returning to normal? What do you mean?

Twitter has never been particularly good at catching illegal material.

I genuinely can't tell if you are joking or really dumb.
