As many of you know by now, Dom Lucre's X account was suspended last night.
Those on the right are claiming that Elon Musk and Twitter unfairly suspended him because they are once again trying to ban conservatives.
Those on the left are celebrating the suspension of Dom because, well, they don't like what he posts. I don't think either approach is right.
The way I see it is that Twitter needs to come up with a better solution. If someone is banned or suspended, both the account owner and everyone else on Twitter should be able to see exactly why. We need transparency.
When viewing a suspended account, everyone should be able to click to see the Tweet that the user was suspended for and/or the exact reason for the suspension as well as how long that suspension will last.
The same should go for shadowbans. If an account is shadowbanned, the user and those visiting their profile should be able to clearly see this and see the reason for the ban.
Additionally, I think Twitter should allow for a 'community notes' type suspension voting system. They should explicitly show the rule that the user broke and allow the community to vote on whether or not that user broke that rule.
I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Elon’s response:
The reason for suspension should be shown, along with ability to appeal quickly and easily. There are so many layers of software (20+ million lines) that this is much harder than it should be.
I’m told that this account was suspended for posting child exploitation pictures associated with the criminal conviction of an Australian man in the Philippines.
