X censors user for using a common idiom: An X user shared a screenshot from his "alt" account of the censorship notice he received from X for a comment his main account had posted. The comment simply said "Steel yourself." This is a common idiom known to mean prepare yourself for what is coming. However, according to the screenshot, X determined that the comment violated its "rules against violent speech." The user's account was locked until he deleted the post.
