X users complain that the latest crackdown on bots purged secret accounts they had used for years to watch and curate their favorite porn

The platform's large-scale crackdown on automated accounts is also impacting people who've spent years curating niche porn on secret X accounts.

    Not a single rule was violated mind you, years of curation and accumulation gone in a flash for no reason. The burning of the library of Alexandria's got nothing on this tragedy [image]

    If our twitter bid succeeds, we will defeat the spam bots or die trying!

    @TomZohar They're cracking down on our fundamental right to justifiably archive queer media.

    @TomZohar Exact same thing happened to me this week. Appealed and got the same response. No explanation. No examples of content/tweets/retweets that violated the Rules. No way to speak to a human or get hundreds of followed accounts back. Everything is gone.

    I see X is deleting them porn accounts on here like wild fire! Not them taking that away from us! 🖕🏾

    @SorrowNSpice The fact they* wouldn't even allow me an opportunity to confirm my identity is the most outrageous part of the whole ordeal. I've reached out a second time, but haven't received any sort of reply. *automated responses.

    This week we purged 1.7 million bots engaging in reply spam. You should start noticing improvements in the coming days. We will be focusing on DM spam next.
