On February 19, the famous whistleblower Edward Snowden informed that his wife account got locked due to a photo of her holding her naked baby.

Reiterating the issue Snowden tweeted that his wife appealed the ban and he has also contacted Twitter Support and Elon Musk, but had received no response.

Edward Snowden called out Twitter’s policy as bad policy and questioned “You can put porn on Twitter, but not a baby?”

He further stated that it seems it is the result of an algorithm run amok, rather than human decision.

Edward informs that his wife said they should give up, delete the photo, and move on.

However, he remains firm with his decision and said that this is a problem that must be addressed.

He added to it saying that it's not OK to algorithmically blackmail parents into eradicating family photos.
