Well, if that is the case, I don't see nothing wrong with the ban. Everyone has a right to privacy, regardless of their political views, so Twitter's decision to temporary suspension is certainly the right one.



The picture is gone, so it's difficult to say what was in it. Some people file retaliatory complaints to get people taken offline. The attacked guy seems like kind of a jerk, but at the same time, the suspended user seemed perfectly willing to user their followers to mob people with insults and threats.
