ooooooo. 12 hours. ooooo.

A warning? A slap on the wrist? No, a symbolic gesture that - DUH! - provides more ammunition for her.
If twitter wanted to be effective, they'd censor her.
A joke.

I know, it's nothing. But, if she continues they will eventually ban her completely. The first step is the warning. I have gotten restricted from Twitter for 24 hours for writing crap about Trump.

You got 24 hours and she only got 12. Something is off.

WP article clarifies: "The account was put on “read-only” mode for 12 hours, which according to Twitter’s rules happens 'if it seems like an otherwise healthy account is in the middle of an abusive episode.' The 12-hour suspension is the shortest of Twitter’s read-only penalties, which its website says can range from 12 hours to seven days, 'depending on the nature of the violation.'"

I guess THE NATURE OF YOUR VIOLATION was twice as bad as hers. HA! She has "an otherwise healthy account". HA HA!

Oh I knew that already. But now twitter has it's eyes on you, Mr. Big Threat.
