On: Twitter Suspends Kathy Griffin After She Changed Her Handle to ‘Elon Musk’

I'm recalling a week ago when he said verified accounts that impersonated others would be suspended.

He also said that it wouldn't be impersonation if it had a disclaimer that it was a parody account, and then he banned accounts like H3H3's that were clearly labeled as parodies.

When the phrasing is "spam/scam/impersonation", I'd say it doesn't cover this.

> If verified accounts violate terms of service, eg spam/scam/impersonation, they’ll be suspended, but Twitter will keep their money!

Yup, they were warned and they done it anyway and now they are crying over that suspension. So this over-reaction isn't newsworthy.

I would argue that these accounts are parodying, not impersonating.
