Back from holiday vacation, I found an interesting email waiting for me in my inbox from Matt Taibbi, the independent journo Elon Musk tasked with reviewing and releasing internal Twitter documents about decisions to censor content and ban users from the platform. "Paul," Taibbi wrote, "just found a crazy email on Twitter - did you know Adam Schiff's staff . . . asked Twitter to have you banned?" I was gobsmacked. This would explain why Twitter could never give me a reason for suspending my account, even though I had broken none of its rules.
