Question for anyone in the know: Is this allowed, from an accessibility point of view? I'm just wondering how someone with a screen reader would know it's an ad? (Or are screenreaders more advanced than I think, and would actually be able to read out 'sponsored')?

I'm not weighing in on whether these kinds of tweets should or shouldn't be allowed, but genuine question: how does this violate rule #1? Is it the use of the word 'cunt'? I don't see how the harassment was based on race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orietntation, gender identity, relgiious affiliation, age, disability or serious disease.

Potentially that Palin is a woman, they've decided that 'cunt' could be based on gender, however I received the same email from Twitter for a (heat of the moment) tweet about Ajit Pai where I called him a cunt, and he is not a woman, so I don't understand their policy. They wouldn't unblock my account until I deleted the tweet.
