Twitter suspended Jesse Kelly’s account for no apparent reason. Then they BANNED him for no apparent reason.
Jesse Kelly on Twitter banning him: “They’ve given me no explanation — as they told Congress they would give explanations. All they sent was an email that said, ‘You are permanently banned and you can’t appeal it’”
Kelly also noted Twitter’s hypocrisy with Louis Farrakhan. pic.twitter.com/Onnmp2BR6D

Now, they reinstated his account, and they’re changing their story.
BREAKING: Twitter spokesperson says regarding Kelly's suspension:
"The account was temporarily suspended for violating the Twitter Rules and has been reinstated. We have communicated directly with the account owner."

Twitter can’t even keep its lies straight on this Jesse Kelly story. First they said PERMANENT DELETION, NO RECOURSE. Now falsely claiming it was a temporary suspension for rules violations they never even accused him of. Get your act together.

"Temporarily suspended"? What a boldface lie. Twitter “permanently suspended” Jesse Kelly's account and told him it “will not be restored.” But now under the threat of a Congressional investigation, they say it was just "temporary," and now it's magically restored. https://t.co/T4w6D14AzF

That's a lie. Twitter's own notice to @JesseKellyDC said he was permanently banned, and never gave a single justification for it. Twitter is lying now just like it lied to Congress about not censoring content based on political views. https://t.co/0cAI9mj6gA
