To be fair, there's no way they could be expected to know the context of that tweet :v:

To be fairer, suspending an account with almost 300k followers for that with no real recourse unless you have connections is fucking ridiculously excessive

regardless of the lack of context, it's hilariously shitty that he was only given context to why he was locked, and the chance to revoke the offending comment, [I]after [/I]having been otherwise permabanned without any real line of support to a human being. That's the exact opposite of what should have happened

Both Twitter and YouTube are incredibly intransparent about bans in general.
At least no-one's buying that Twitter is fair (or consistent, rather) in their enforcement of rules at this point. (They're good at locally withholding information when a state complains about it though, for better or worse.)
YouTube's pretty much rolling dice, so that's a whole other can of worms.

Honestly, I'm really disappointed that Twitter hasn't properly automated at least some of this stuff, because they actually [I]could[/I].
Have a list with ban-worthy phrases and their reasons (i.e. ("I'm going to kill your entire family", "death threat")) and slap anyone who uses them without quotes with a temporary suspension and a prompt to either appeal or delete it. Then actually look at appeals and fix the rules as necessary.

Also, only do anything that moves an account towards permanent suspension after true manual review. YouTube's strike system isn't horrible, just the input data is incredibly bad.

I don't think the amount of followers should matter after a certain point. You can make the heuristics a bit more trigger-happy on very new or almost vacant accounts though.
