If you're going to argue "a ban doesn't count if it's reversed after a couple of hours", what's the threshold? Could Elon ban people for a week without it counting as a ban? What if it happens repeatedly?
You're making broad statements and assumptions that don't align with reality. The accounts were banned. You don't know why they were banned or restored.
