@SShackford But money can change hands for ISPs and approval of all content suggests that there likely were (?) people they kicked or ... -
@SShackford ... suspended for violating the terms of service. -
@chrisgeidner That might explain why she detailed specific ads in the complaint. We don't know if they were still up as of this morning. -
