Ugg, I was unlocked from my X account for 2 minutes before they banned me again. I tried reposting the 1978 interview with RCMP Constable James Blackwood about his UFO sighting. Apparently that is what is flagging their nudity censors. The guy is in full uniform! What the hell X!

So my appeal apparently went thru and they found I didn't actually break any rules. Only I got this 4 hrs ago, and my account is still locked until this afternoon! So that appeal appears to have been worthless because they didn't fix it.

This is so weird. I was updating one of my post on X and it said my account was locked for 12 hours. Never had that happen, and could think of no reason why. I checked my email and it said posting non-consensual nudity?!?! I have never posted nudity of any kind. These stupid AI filters, wth.
