Wait, you can do that @twitter? Doesn’t violate all kinds of free speech laws? https://t.co/YTGfV6sG0e

Shaun King can’t believe this “madness” interrupting his haircut!

Wonder what he did that would prompt CNN to take action with Twitter.
What did you say about Mr. Lemon? @ShaunKing @CNN

@ShaunKing @CNN ooooh. What did it say???

@ShaunKing @CNN wtf? What did it say?
— Hugh M Jones III (@corlitante) November 4, 2015
Well, he did complain about Don Lemon in his tweet … but there was also this:
@ShaunKing @CNN Is this because the CNN producer's name and contact was still on the tweet?
— Jefe (@CheFwee) November 4, 2015
@ShaunKing Was it because the producer's phone number wasn't blurred?

So maybe it wasn’t what you said about Don, Shaun. Have you considered that possibility?

Deleted, but not forgotten. Despite the fact that King conveniently doesn’t address it in subsequent tweets.

Are we supposed to feel bad for Shaun that there are consequences for posting someone’s contact information without her consent?
Shaun King's account got locked for doxing. Don't let that tool tell you otherwise.

@jimmystevens506 hmm, I don't remember. That's a good point though. Twitter was right to suspend him until fixed, of course. @neontaster

Well, in any event, at least Shaun’s sorry for what he did:
