Yoel Roth. He has been in that position for almost a decade. Why is the funny?

The assumption that it is a single person taking action against mislabeled parody accounts (like you suggested, by saying even Yoel disagreed with OP) is amusing, because naturally it isn't the case.
Nobody said that. Please don’t do that.
> The person who does Safety at Twitter has been there for many years and he is pretty far on the “new left” side. Apparently, even he disagrees with you.

Did you not say this? ^ Because it is literally what this says/implies.

He is the lead and could have stopped the ban, obviously. But there is a team of 2000 people doing bands, not just a single person.

You don’t seem to be interested in any actual conversation, but just trolling.

Well I assure you that's not the case. But you did say something that is factually incorrect (and used left/right politics on top of that) and it had to be called out. If you think I am a troll, I urge you to go through my comment history.

Back to the subject: Yoel being the lead here doesn't necessarily mean he could have done anything about it — in fact, based on what I hear through the grapevine (and trust me on this one, I have very good sources), many of these things are being done one-off by Musk himself — which is disheartening on its own.
