In recent weeks, I’ve been trying to get Twitter to enforce its own guidelines concerning a “parody” account, likely run by hacker RaFa Nuñez, called @alekboydoficial. This is a prime example of the kind of “parody” that this account represents.
Up until now, Twitter has failed to take action on the numerous instances of hate speech, racism, homophobia, and violence posted on that account, which features my name, my photo, and the word “official” added.
Today, March 24, 2014, Twitter opted to suspend my account instead of the “parody” account @alekboydoficial.
I believe they suspended the wrong account, but my question to Twitter remains: why was my account suspended?
UPDATE, March 25, 2014, 07:30 GMT: Twitter has restored my account and suspended RaFa’s @alekboydoficial. It was all a temporary mix-up.
