    Its use of a single letter app name did, too, and we see how quickly they bent the rules to accommodate the name change.

      Both Apple and Google benefit from Twitter “nazifying” their users so they vote Repug and pay zero taxes. They’ll never do shit.

      Exactly my thoughts, the rules are bullshit if they are not equal for everybody.

      The single letter name exception is basically everything you need to know. It’s all bullshit.

      I can see making an exception for a single letter name but block is an essential feature of any social network not having it could leave you open to a lawsuit and possibly charges from a stalking murder case

        Yeah, hopefully. Musk loves pushing boundaries. Eventually you wonder if he pushes too far. As other comments here suggest, though, the one thing he really highlights is the arbitrary nature and general inconsistency of these boundaries. The rules may be written down, but they don’t apply equally. It’s helpful to be reminded of that sometimes.
