That is shadowbanning. It looks like your account was deleted (proper banning) subsequently.

Mmmm... Yup. Shadowbanning.
Shadow banning (also called stealth banning, ghost banning or comment ghosting[1]) is the act of blocking or partially blocking a user or their content from an online community such that it will not be readily apparent to the user that they have been banned. For instance, shadow banned comments posted to a blog or media site won't be visible to other persons accessing that site from their computers.
By partly concealing, or making a user's contributions invisible or less prominent to other members of the service, the hope may be that in the absence of reactions to their comments, the problematic or otherwise out-of-favour user will become bored or frustrated and leave the site, and that spammers and trolls will not create new accounts.[1][2][3]
When I log in, I don't get to post anything. I'm not even allowed to see my direct messages anymore. Those are completely gone. I am not in any way being given the impression by Twitter that I haven't been banned.

Well, why didn't you say so, then?
Having read some of what you were posting on Twitter, I'm not at all surprised you got banned. Are you?

Complete new leaked Facebook confidential documents will be online to assist the International Grand Committee on Disinformation and Fake News, meeting in Ireland on Wednesday.
International Grand Committee on Disinformation and ‘Fake News’ Dublin, Ireland – Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th November 2019 – 25 Oct 2019, 11.00 – Houses of the Oireachtas

At noon on Wednesday, Dublin time, I + others will publish full copies of 6,971 pages of Facebook confidential and legal documents, leaked in February. Some are documents used by @commonscms in their report on Facebook. Download sites will be identified Wednesday.
Since then, key media partners @computerweekly, @nbcnews, @williamrt, @oliviasolon, @cfarivar have had full exclusive access to all the documents for investigative reporting, for a decisive serious of reports since March 2019.
1,210 of the pages to be released are marked "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL" by Facebook. The documents evidence multiple breaches of the FTC settlement agreed by Facebook, leading to the record breaking $5 billion fine agreed in July.
Facebook leaks reveal anti-competitive projects to shut down thousands of app developers unless they paid Facebook through in-house advertising subsidiary, methods used by Facebook to deceives users about privacy, and to monetise their data, secretly allowing favoured companies.
The practice allowed abuses like Cambridge Analytica. Chosen companies could copy data from millions of online "friends". And much more ...
I am putting the full leaked documents into the public domain so that regulators, litigants can have fullest possible information. Last week I arranged for copies to go to US Congress, to help the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial and Administrative Law.
In September, the Subcommittee asked for all the documents. Facebook have ignored the request. I provided them.

International Grand Committee on Disinformation and ‘Fake News’ Dublin, Ireland – Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th November 2019
25 Oct 2019, 11.00
Parliamentarians from ten countries have confirmed attendance at the International Grand Committee (IGC) on Disinformation and ‘Fake News’, which takes place in Leinster House, Dublin on Wednesday, 6th and Thursday, 7th November.
Hildegarde Naughton TD, Chairperson of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communication, Climate Action and Environment, will chair the meeting.
“The International Grand Committee, which is representative of hundreds of millions of citizens, met in London and Ottawa previously. I am delighted that the third meeting is being hosted in Ireland. We will be joined by parliamentarians from ten other countries including the United States and Australia who are participating for the first time,” Deputy Naughton said.
How to advance international collaboration in the regulation of harmful content, hate speech and electoral interference online is the theme of the meeting. At the end of the deliberations, the IGC intends to agree a set of principles to underpin international collaboration in tackling these issues while at the same time respecting freedom of speech.
Deputy Naughton said: “It’s significant that this meeting is being held in Dublin which is home to the European headquarters of social media giants; Google, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. Social media has created a connected, online global community but concerns around fake news, transparency in political advertising, the protection of young people and vulnerable adults from harmful content and online privacy and security are intensifying.
“The International Grand Committee brings together international parliamentarians with a particular responsibility in this area. Together, we hope that this significant meeting in Dublin will lead to the creation of a roadmap to ensure a safer and more secure online experience for everyone.”
Parliamentarians will be welcomed to Leinster House for a preliminary one hour private meeting of the International Grand Committee in Committee Room 2 at 6pm on the 6 November.
A full day meeting will take place in the Seanad Chamber on Thursday, 7 November
Speakers on the day include Data Protection Commissioner, Helen Dixon, UK Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham and award winning journalist and 2019 Pulitzer prize nominee Carole Cadwalladr.
Representatives of social media companies Facebook, Youtube EMEA, Google and Twitter will all make presentations during the meeting before questions are put to them by IGC Members.
There are five distinct sessions throughout the day from 9am to 6pm which are:
The Evidence. What does the evidence on online harms, hate speech and electoral interference tell us about the nature of the problem? What most urgently needs to be addressed?
Industry perspective. How can industry be a part of the solution?
The state of play in regulation. What are relevant existing regulatory structures, how will they change and what legislative proposals are pending.
International collaboration. How can national parliaments come together on the issue of regulation.
Deliberation.
Deputy Naughton is joined on the IGC by her Oireachtas Communications Committee colleagues; Deputies James Lawless and Eamon Ryan.
They will be joined by 15 parliamentarians from Argentina, Finland, Georgia, Singapore, USA, Estonia, France, Australia, United Kingdom and Sweden.
Each expert witness at Thursday’s meeting will make a short opening statement. This will be followed by a Questions and Answer session.
The full agenda can be viewed here.

"We quickly fixed an issue where someone could see who edited or published a post on behalf of a Page when looking at its edit history," said the company in a statement. "We are grateful to the security researcher who alerted us to this issue."
Facebook says the bug was the result of a code update that it pushed Thursday evening. It's not something most people would have encountered on their own, since it took navigating to a Page, viewing an edit history, and realizing that there shouldn't be a name and profile picture assigned to edits to exploit it. Still, despite the Friday morning fix, screenshots circulated on 4chan, Imgur, and social media appearing to show the accounts behind the official Facebook Pages of the pseudonymous artist Banksy, Russian president Vladimir Putin, former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, the hacking collective Anonymous, climate activist Greta Thunberg, and rapper Snoop Dogg, among others.
Facebook points out that no information beyond a name and public profile link were available, but that information isn't supposed to appear in the edit history at all. And for people, say, running anti-regime Pages under a repressive government, making even that much information public is plenty alarming. -Wired

This could go in a different thread - on impeachment, or censorship practics - but to me the impeachment story is the new season of #Russiagate.
As you probably know, during the proceedings last night (30 Jan), senators were allowed to ask questions only by submitting them in writing to Roberts in advance. Rand Paul submitted a question which he used the name (known for months) of the alleged White House whistleblower from the CIA, although phrased such that it did not identify this person, Eric Ciaramella, as the whistleblower. Roberts refused to read it. Paul went out to the press and read his question, and then tweeted the text, thus "revealing" the alleged whistleblower's name.
In an FB discussion, someone asked who Paul had named. Remember, this was already online at Paul's twitter feed, and still is. I responded as in the screenshot. Next morning, FB had banned me from posting for 24 hours, for facilitating or abetting crime!
