"This is about an American being silenced — one tweet at a time": Actor James Woods rants about his Twitter account being locked

Actor James Woods will not delete his tweet even though it may mean being prevented from using his Twitter account in the near future. The social media giant found a tweet of his from a few months ago to be 'misleading' and in violation of Twitter's rules and so his account was locked for access.
