Not only is it ridiculous to permanently ban someone from the platform with 3 minutes notice for copyright violation, this ALSO isn't copyright violation! In the US (I don't know enough about other jurisdictions) this would almost certainly qualify as Fair Use and therefore NOT a copyright violation.<p>So Twitter is permanently banning people with 3 minutes notice for a first offense of OBEYING the laws (but apparently still pissing off the IOC).<p>Reversing the ban of this person once the story became widely discussed is NOT an excuse, unless Twitter is also reviewing all other bans.
