Guy Squiggs is the pseudonym of a Twitter user who prefers not to use his real name, so he’s not banned in real life.
I was tweeting like Guy Squiggs. In October 2020, when photos of Hunter Biden’s laptop leaked online, I decided to post one.
The photo showed Hunter exposing himself (which was censored before being posted on Twitter). Behind Hunter, however, was a balcony where a girl sat. She looked young, but her question was how old? That was the question, and that was the point of the whole tweet.
For this, my account was closed.
Now I know why. Reporter Matt Taibbi revealed a number of internal documents on Twitter, including an exchange dated Oct. 24, 2020: “More to review from the Biden team.” It included links to five tweets, including mine. “Managed those,” was the reply.
Why was I “treated?” The media, still covering Joe Biden, says the answer is obvious. “Biden’s media campaign from Elon Musk’s ‘Twitter Files’ show called for the removal of nude photos of Hunter Biden,” Salon wrote, adding that it was “Twitter policy.”
In short, nothing to see here!
Except there was no nudity in my post. I specifically blocked it. My tweet violated no policy except the unwritten one: Don’t make the Bidens look bad.
I’m now tweeting about a new account, @SquigglyFella, which I call Guy Squiggs the Banned. Now I call him Guy Squiggs the Handled.
But I have a request from Elon Musk. I appreciate what you are doing by releasing these documents and proving there was no reason for me to be banned or manipulated in the first place.
So… can I recover my old account?
This account confirms everything that Conservatives believed was happening against them, but has now been proven. I would be proud to switch from Squiggs the Outcast to Squiggs the Reinstated.
