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.

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.

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

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.

So because the accounts in question had a mixture of both official Copperhead and non-Copperhead work, they claimed to own them. Am I understanding correctly?

The was a past conflict, and the accounts had been split into a corporate account () and the open representing the underlying open source projects (), which had been renamed based on not being associated with Copperhead branding anymore when seized.
It used my email and phone number, for years. I moved from a copperhead.co email to a gmail.com email before the events leading up to things falling apart too. The action Twitter took was rolling it back to the past email to allow Copperhead to seize it.

Having a phone number with 2FA didn't accomplish anything. A security key doesn't matter either. They simply did recovery via the email account after it had been rolled back, deleted all my tweets about what had happened to cover it up and got all of my direct messages about it.
