    If I had to guess what happened, it seems bots reported her account until Twitter’s auto-mod system suspended the account. It was apparently un-suspended in an hour.

    I am willing to listen if I misunderstood the situation here.

      If only they kept their actual staff and didn’t have to resort to auto-mod systems…

    Is anyone surprised? Musk hasn’t exactly hid his fetish with supporting facists.

    If this was a mistake, it was an egregious one that deserved human eyes on it. If this wasn’t a mistake, then nobody is surprised the fascist platform silenced yet another victim of fascism.

    Well when one of your biggest investors (one blue check mark at a time) tells you in mass to do something, you do it!

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Yulia Navalnaya’s account on X - formerly Twitter - was briefly suspended a day after she used the platform to vow to continue her husband’s campaigning.

    On Monday, she posted a video promising to fight for a “free Russia”, days after Alexei Navalny’s death in a Russian prison was confirmed.

    A post on the site’s official safety account read: "Our platform’s defense mechanism against manipulation and spam mistakenly flagged @yulia_navalnaya as violating our rules.

    Ms Navalnaya, who generally kept a low profile throughout her late husband’s campaigning, created an account on X on Monday.

    In a video message posted the same day, Ms Navalnaya accused Russian authorities of waiting for traces of the deadly nerve agent Novichok to disappear from her husband’s body before releasing it to his family.

    The emotional video statement, in which her voice could be heard to shake with grief and anger, was widely shared by other users.
