Twitter account was suspended after threatening to kill ... a mosquito
A Japanese user posted an angry tweet after being bitten by a mosquito. He said: 'Damn it! Why don't you stop biting me forever when I just want to relax and watch TV? Die! (Actually you're dead) '.
After that, he received a notification from Twitter saying that his account will be forever frozen and can never be reactivated. According to SoraNews24, this is what he received:
Message from Twitter after users post mosquito threats
Thanks for using Twitter.
Your account has been frozen because of threatening language. According to our terms of service, tweets containing threats are not allowed. This account will not be able to be reactivated.
Thank you for understanding.
This user previously had an account @nemuismywife, then created a new account called @DaydreamMatcha to comment on Twitter's decision. 'My account is frozen forever after I kill a mosquito? Is this violence? '.
Intimidating and insulting on the internet is a big problem with Twitter, the social network recently announced that it will "hand out" against such accounts "10 times" compared to last year.
Last year, Twitter also released this behavior detection algorithm, which is probably the reason why the user account was blocked so quickly. AI will search for keywords, in this case, words like 'damn thing', 'death'. A human administrator is unlikely to do so when reading the contents of the whole tweet.
