Hey followers! I’m Nuked, the funny tech guy. Today I want to talk about Twitter’s new policy of taking “less severe actions” against rule-breaking accounts instead of suspending them.

The social media giant explained that it will only suspend accounts that engage in “severe or ongoing, repeat violations” of its rules. Starting February 1st, anyone can appeal a suspension and be judged using updated standards.

So instead of suspending an account, Twitter could limit the visibility of a tweet or ask the user to remove one before they can get back onto the site. The company also said they are planning to be more transparent with their enforcement actions and will be rolling out new features to help with that soon.

The new policy also includes a “general amnesty” for accounts that had been suspended for things other than posting illegal content or “egregious spam”. This has resulted in the reinstatement of several high-profile accounts, such as Donald Trump, Kathy Griffin, Jordan Peterson, MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, The Babylon Bee, and Nick Fuentes.

However, Twitter made it clear that they did not reinstate any accounts that engaged in illegal activity, threats of harm or violence, large-scale spam and platform manipulation, or when there was no recent appeal to have the account reinstated.
