33. I want to know three things.
Sun Feb 16, 2025, 03:19 PM
Feb 2025

1. Which "community guidelines" does this violate?

2. Exactly HOW does this cartoon violate those guidelines?

3. What kind of guidelines would make this cartoon unacceptable? Those "guidelines" are themselves unacceptable, I am sure.

I would make them explain their answers to all of those questions.

I am not on X and never was when it was Twitter. But I like the suggestion of another poster in this thread, that you should re-post this same cartoon every day, along with an explanation of this event and your comments about their "guidelines". If they kick you off X, I would say, good riddance.

Also, they say they "received a complaint" about your cartoon. You could complain about postings that promote similar but comparable right-wing points of view. Not that right-wing blatherings are in any way comparable to the concerns of people here on DU, but you know what I mean. Use their own tactics against them.
