I can clearly see a dink in the photo.
Ted Cruz: if you don't like hunting, fine. Don't go
Also Ted Cruz: Grammy performances are evil and encourage devil worshipping
In summation, fuck Ted Cruz. >

So, Twitter's ban policy is broken and erratic, then?
Sounds about right given the massive layoffs and the fact that the CEO is pretty much broken and erratic. >

Ted Cruz saying "Don't censor others who disagree" is the height of absurdity. What a hypocrite. >


The suspension may not be all bad news for Daines, however. Other Republican lawmakers who have gotten into similar trouble with Twitter’s rules have used the opportunity to raise funds. As head of the Senate GOP’s campaign arm, Daines is likely to do the same. >

That does make this even more highly suspect in my eyes. Who is to say that this might not be a coordination between the Senate gop's campaign arm and Elon Musk.
If one knows that having a Twitter account banned can be potentially lucrative under certain circumstances, what is going to stop people who want to take advantage of the "news" cycle , talking points that can be made from it, and campaign fundraising that can be done as a byproduct of the publicity by manufacturing a story with willing participants?
Given the right obsession with the Twitter files, it is obvious that certain people recognize the potential for social media in propaganda and psyops campaigns. >

I miss when house of cards was just a TV show this shit is disgusting. I hate how Occam's razor supports your arguments. Why else would he get banned over an animal like that, my Twitter profile has a picture of me holding a fish. I'm a C&R guy but you can't tell that from the photo.
Elon is cancer, the only silver lining he brings is exposing the hypocrisy and stupidity of people with too much money to be held accountable. >

Thank you for mentioning Occam's razor in relationship to that. I don't even think that people affiliated with Twitter or the Senate GOP would even need to be directly involved. One person with basic understanding of Technology could easily use Mass reporting tactics with sock puppet accounts, and that could be done by literally anyone regardless of political affiliation.
That said, I definitely came at it more from a bias attempt to find a connection simply because of the Quo Bono question. >

Ah Montana, you continue to paint yourself  with crass colors. >

Given how that type of photo isn’t exactly uncommon, and how much the right wingers on Twitter are complaining, I’d say there is another reason why it was banned, and they’re controlling the narrative like with gas stoves. 
Also how many people there are talking about how Daines “just wants to fill his fridge with healthy meat” like yeah right, it’s sport hunting. >


I’d say there is another reason why it was banned, and they’re controlling the narrative like with gas stoves.

Mentions gore or other forms of graphic violence though in the ban message. Seems like it might have been a false positive or something.
Full version of the image. I've seen far more "bloody" stuff on Twitter, and it's outright invisible on the thumbnail. >

The Qanon people are back in droves. Some of them couch it in coded language out of embarrassment. But anyone who knows anything about these Trust the Plan, do your own research, any day now whackjobs can spot them in about every political thread. >

I'm surprised they flagged such a commonplace sort of photo.  Plenty of people kill wildlife from a distance using powerful weapons and feel proud enough about it to then pose with the safely dead animal. >

Ok, I am shocked to agree with Ted Cruz on anything, but hunting photos are popular and common among some large subsets of the population. Maybe require a NSFW label if twitter does that, but I don't see that this deserves a suspension even if the content got removed. At minimum it is an honest mistake, but a lot of people would be ok to see it. >

It was a pic of a dead animal you don’t have to post pics of dead animals to prove you’re a hunter . That alone should be enough . >

This is so solid.  I'm glad he got booted!
