Since twitter has locked out the NYPost for violating rules that no longer stand as rules (but twitter won& #39;t revisit past enforcement decisions) the NY Post COULD end this standoff by deleting the tweets that broke the rules (thus unlocking its account) then tweet them out again
2/ I asked a twitter exec if this was possible, he said yes and it would end the whole thing. Probably take 15 seconds.
3/ And yes twitter could end this immediately as well given that these rules are no longer rules. I’m just suggesting a possible way to end this. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✌️" title="Siegeshand" aria-label="Emoji: Siegeshand">
4/ Since the usual bad faith actors are now depicting this as me telling the NYPost to bow to twitter to delete the tweets, i& #39;m clearly not saying that -- i& #39;m saying they can delete them *then tweet them out again.*

I agree twitter enforcing defunct rules makes no sense. Zero.
5/ I also don& #39;t think twitter should have blocked them to begin with. But this would be a way for NYPost to have cake and eat it too -- and get its twitter feed back. Just an idea. Don& #39;t like it? That& #39;s fine too.
