    The widow of Alexei Navalny, Yulia Navalnaya, has had her X account restored after it was briefly suspended for unknown reasons.

    This seems a misleading headline, unless what I’ve quoted was edited in. I’m no fan of Musk, but it could be something like a load of people (or bots) reported the account and an automated system put it into review.

      Funny how the automated system always catches musks political opponents and not any of his allies

        Yeah cuz musk is on Russia’s side and Russia is the one flooding the platform with bots. It doesn’t have to be conspiratorial levels of stuff, in another article they literally said it was an automated action due to reports. So Russia bots mass reported, it got removed, then someone at Twitter (probably not musk) reinstated the account after receiving a message about it.
