I was able to find his Medium page by looking up "henrylim96 medium". What's troubling to me is that this isn't some trigger-happy autoban - someone had to actively seek him out. It could have been someone who "snitched" on him, or (I suspect) a Medium employee.
So it's assumed that someone who has a pseudonym on Twitter is the same entity that uses that pseudonym on Medium?
I know of a few ways we can test this theory. We're going to need a short list of popular publishers on Medium.
