1/ I was suspended by Twitter earlier today because Bellingcat's Dan Kaszeta complained that I had breached Twitter rules against exposure of personal information in a tweet about his business relationship with #IntegrityInitiative. I appealed to Twitter .
2/ on the grounds that my tweet observing that my tweet did not violate their privacy policy and, in particular, that my observatino that Kaszeta had been employed by a "UK government propaganda campaign" was squarely within their policy for permitted speech
3/ In their suspension notice, Twitter required me to remove tweet about Kzszeta as condition of return of service. Much to my surprise, Twitter accepted my appeal and restored my account with no condition on removing the tweet about Kaszeta. Good for Twitter.
4/ in my Twitter appeal, I also mentioned that I was a publicly recognizable person and had been listed by New Statesman in 2010 as one of "50 People Who Mattered in 2010". It seemed like a useful reference in Twitter spat. newstatesman.com/2010/09/global… newstatesman.com/global-issues/…
