Currently, Twitter users who violate the rules and get blocked have no opportunity to appeal and defend themselves regarding these violations.
However, later Twitter users who have been blocked will be able to defend themselves and their defense will be evaluated by Twitter, or in other words, such as an appeal in court, starting February 1.
Twitter, which is now owned by Elon Musk, is implementing new rules that say users will only be banned for serious or repeated violations, we were quoted as saying by Reuters, Monday (30/1/2023).
These repeated violations include spreading illegal activity or content, inciting or threatening violence, and harassing other users.
So, violators of these rules will not necessarily be banned, but will be subject to lighter penalties. For example, the scope of tweets that violate it will be limited, or users can also be asked to delete their tweets that violate it.
This policy is in contrast to Elon Musk's behavior last December, where he blocked a number of journalist accounts deemed to be distributing public data regarding the location of his jet plane. Although later indeed the account was reactivated.
Under Musk's leadership, Twitter did implement a number of new rules. Some are weird, but some are good. For example, the latest is the change in the appearance of the site and the use of different fonts.
The use of different fonts is done so that users can more easily distinguish fake accounts or impersonators. Actually, according to Joshua Benton and NiemanLab, the font used is still its own font named Chirp, but the style has been changed to OpenType.
This new font makes it easier for users to distinguish characters that look the same. For example an uppercase 'I' and a lowercase 'L' that are similar in shape, or the number '0' and the letter 'o'.
