If you click on thru the second link they are referring to the former employee who closed his account

They restored his account after it was shut down briefly, and are pursuing the employee who acted appropriately to suspend the account of a user who regularly violates the TOS.

so they will never ban him but

HEY i just thought of something............. twitter must price their ads based on how many people they reach. i can't believe advertisers can be too happy finding out how many bots and trolls are out there that they are "paying" to have ads directed at.... i wonder if twitter has taken and flack for that........ because if enough advertisers pull their ads twitter would HAVE to clean their act up and PROVE to advertisers that they are actually getting through to real people.

That would mollify Trump and he would t know the difference. Hell, I’m fairly certain he IS a Russian bot. Let whoever currently posts the semi-sane bullshit continue; that makes it to Fox & Friends, and that keeps Dotard happy.

Not a perfect solution, but, like, 62% less chance of nuclear war!

There’s no net plus with social media. Any good it does is canceled out by the bad, like we saw in 2016 with Facebook.
