I need help getting in contact with a Reddit administrator and someone at Twitter able to help. They've made uninformed decisions that are continuing to cause substantial harm to my open source privacy/security work. They took easily disproved lies from Copperhead at face value.

What did they do? What did you do?

The previous account representing the open source projects I develop was handed over to someone else. Twitter simply handed it over to them after they sent a letter from his lawyer claiming ownership of it. I was never contacted at all. I never had a chance to present my side.

It was connected to my email account and phone number. It had 2-factor authentication enabled. Mine is the original phone number associated with the account. Twitter doesn't respect individuals or open source projects, only corporations. I simply want a discussion with them.

I want to have it explained why they hijacked the account used for my open source work and handed over private communications to someone hostile to the projects. They've caused immense harm and have set back not only these projects but the upstream projects benefiting from them.

Which accounts were stolen?

My Reddit account /u/strncat was suspended due to false reports rather than stolen. My previous Twitter account was stolen and renamed back to the branding that had been dropped by the projects it represented.

There was an agreement in place about the separation of the corporation and the open source projects, and it was completely breached. Twitter helped with breaking the terms of the arrangement by enabling the theft of my account. I spent years representing my work from it.

They didn't contact me about the account I owned and controlled for years. Instead, they simply handed it over to someone trying to harm me. They handed over the direct messages including the recent ones containing discussions with people that were trying to help me with this.

So, they literally handed over conversations between a victim and people helping them to the attacker. They did this because despite using danielmicay@gmail.com as the email, it had used daniel.micay@copperhead.co in previous years and they rolled it back.

The corporation is Copperhead, correct? What is your official title within the organization?

Replying to

I'm not associated with it anymore, so I don't have a title. The open source projects were independent from it and have been moved to the AndroidHardening & AndroidHardeningArchive organizations on GitHub. I'm getting new domains for the projects and can come up with new naming.
