"Twitter had better make sure that they don't have too many more accidents like this one"

Yeah, or what? This is like your friends who threaten to quit Facebook or move to _____ if ____ is elected.

They didn't suspend him for criticism. They suspended him for tweeting the email address of an NBC executive. Which was still bullshit, but a case could (and was) made that doing so violated Twitter's policies. But I don't understand why people keep reporting this wrong. He wasn't suspended for criticism.

"Twitter...should not have any control over what gets said on their service."

This is a brainless statement, on the same level as that precious OMG MY PRIVACY!!1 Copyright®TM Facebook post that was all the rage a few weeks ago.

As soon as I read "violation", I wanted to know what he did... so thanks, b!X, really sucks when a story makes no sense until you get to the comments.

"Imagine your Hotmail account banning you because you're complaining about your XBox not working in an email to your friends and you have an idea of how bad this is." Oh! NOW I get it! Before I was all like "Twitter? What?" and "Suspended? Huh?" But now that you've put it in terms anyone from 2002 could understand (without having to go through that awkward intervening decade since then), I'm all like "Oh. Gotcha." PLEASE DON'T BAN ME FOR CRITICIZING YOUR JOURNALISM!!!
