Security News > 2020 > February > Twitter gave access to student’s account to his college

As first reported by Business Insider, last week, Kelly had to use his personal Twitter account to vent about having been shut out of the parody account, which he uses to poke fun at the school's social media presence, news and messages to students.

Twitter determined the account violated their policy on account impersonation and turned access over to us.

It did mess with it once Twitter suspended the account and turned it over to a college administrator.

Twitter has apologized, telling media outlets that it made a mistake about turning over access of Kelly's parody account to college officials, and that it should have instead suspended the parody count for impersonation.

Here's just a guess about that: Kelly used his school-issued email account to open the parody account.
