Scobleizer: undisclosed Kimi influencer payments triggered mass X bans without due process
Scobleizer · x · 2026-10-27
- Quoted context: @LuminaBench says their account was locked for testing an unreleased model in an arena and posting its output, with no Kimi/moonshot affiliation; many creator accounts were mass-reported and banned a day before anything even launched, with no appeal channel on X.
- Robert Scobleizer (614K followers) argues that Kimi paying influencers and asking them not to disclose sparked a mob reporting everyone covering Kimi; the mob is wrong, and X's system that kicks people off without proof or due diligence needs fixing.
