The fact this has even reached the point of requiring an R=46C is a joke.=
 The fact is the account is dead and should not be linked to anymore, and=
 it should be clearly communicated that is the state of the account inste=
ad of just being silently abandoned (contradicting the very vocal behavio=
r of those with the keys who made it quite clear what they were doing and=
 why). It shouldn=E2=80=99t be a discussion of politics or people flingin=
g about insults about how people choose to engage with social media to ma=
ke a decision on whether a link is visible.
