Well thats kwacky locked out of twitter

Twitter is locking accounts that swear at famous people
Last night, developer Victoria Fierce had some harsh words for Vice President Mike Pence. Incensed over the Trump administration’s recent rollback of transgender protections, Fierce let loose on Pence. “**** you,” she tweeted. “I gotta piss, and you’re putting me — an American — in danger of assault by your white supremacist brothers.”

Almost immediately, she got the notification. Twitter had detected “potentially abusive activity” on her account, and put her in temporary timeout as a result. For the next 12 hours, only followers could see her tweets — which meant she wouldn’t be able to lobby the Vice President.
Potentionall NSFW as a few bad words

I know a few accounts that have already fallen foul of this.

To be honest, I've been very well behaved on Twitter over the last few months. I must be getting old.

Victoria certainly seems like a delicate little flower petal.
