Travis Kelce’s Dad Claims He Got a Lifetime Ban from X

Travis Kelce‘s father has become well-acquainted with Facebook, especially after receiving a lifetime ban from X, formerly known as Twitter. Ed Kelce shared his dilemma on Facebook, referencing a Newsmax article about Houthi arms dealers allegedly selling weapons on X.

In his post, Ed disclosed that he was permanently banned from Elon Musk‘s platform for what X described as a “generic ‘Terms Of Service’ violation.” Importantly, he clarified that his recent post about the arms dealers wasn’t the reason for his ban but used it to highlight what he perceives as hypocrisy on the platform.

Ed contends that he doesn’t deserve this lifetime ban, alleging that it happened during a period when he wasn’t active on his account. He suspects that the ban might have been the result of a post made by a hacker, which X interpreted as a violation.

The situation leaves Ed puzzled and frustrated. He’s adamant that the ban is unwarranted and believes X has overstepped its bounds.

Ed’s story shines a light on the broader debate over free speech and moderation on social media platforms. Musk has publicly committed to promoting free speech on X. However, this commitment has been tested with several contentious episodes this year.

One notable incident involved Don Lemon, who claimed his X deal was terminated following certain interview questions directed at Musk. These incidents underscore the inconsistency in how free speech is upheld on the platform.

The lifetime ban on Ed Kelce appears antithetical to the free speech ethos Musk advocates. We have reached out to X for a detailed explanation of the ban but have yet to receive a response.

For now, Ed remains distanced from X, transforming into what one might call an “ex-user.”
