The irony of your announcement: you logged into your inactive ad account to exploit a vulnerability in our Ad Composer – to post a link that misleads users into thinking it's a video, and artificially boost its reach
– Bier wrote.
He also added that "X believes everyone should have an equal voice on our platform."
However, it seems you believe these rules should not apply to your account. Your ad account has been suspended
– Bier added.
