So, is the ban permanent this time?
I honestly didn’t even understand how @jaboukie did it. There’s always a lot of trolling and impersonating but it had the blue check next to her name and everything. Duped a LOT of ppl ?? Jaboukie sacrificed that verified status for the cause ✊?✊?✊?

There’s already a “Free @Jaboukie” movement out there, so we’ll see what happens:
Free @jaboukie
