There’s some poor underpaid people somewhere doing nothing but comparing account names to photo ID, of course they don’t have a say in it

You know that’s not what I’m saying. They would have been content to leave this woman without her account except that the threat of them looking worse in the media was held over their head. That’s the part that shouldn’t have happened. No company should be allowed to terminate an account used in the professional sphere while leaving no recourse to reclaim the account or appeal the decision in a straightforward and relatively low effort way.
