Twitter invoked then repealed "Kraken" blacklist, as also name of an exchange

As part of #TwitterFiles4, Michael Shellenberger reveals this:

But it turns out that even blacklisting "kraken" is less straightforward than they thought. That's because kraken, in addition to being a QAnon conspiracy theory based on the mythical Norwegian sea monster, is also the name of a cryptocurrency exchange, and was thus "allowlisted"

Kraken is the name of one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world.
Kraken is the name of an NHL hockey team
Kraken is the name of a mythical Norwegian sea monster
Kraken is the name of [etc.]

Yet these leftist nutjobs that Twitter CEO (at the time) Jack brought into Twitter felt no concern over blacklisting a commonly used word because that word was also used by their enemy ... the Trump supporter.

What is interesting is that Jack is also CEO of Block, which owns Cash App -- a competitor to Kraken (exchange). Nice job attacking your competition, Jack!!! Inadvertent or not, ... any CEO of a company letting these leftist wokesters do this stuff needs to be held responsible for their actions.

Burn it down, burn it all the F down!!!

Anyone know the exact date that "kraken" @krakenfx @KrakenRum @SeattleKraken got thrown in Twitter jail? Nice that someone released the krakens but how long were we demonlisted or whatever?
