Twitter Bans User Who Tweeted About Killing Sean Bean In HITMAN 2

  • 68

Sean Bean dying is old hat at this point and his addition as the first Elusive Target for HITMAN 2 was pretty funny in its own way. What's much less funny is that Twitter has banned a user who wrote about killing him.

HITMAN 2 has a feature called "Elusive Targets" much like the previous game in the series. These time-limited contracts give players a single chance to eliminate a particularly-challenging contract. Fail the job and you'll never get the opportunity to do so again.

Sean Bean voices former MI6 agent Mark Faba, a man known as "The Undying" who has faked his death multiple times. Players are keen on taking out the virtual version of the movie star and, of course, have tweeted about their escapades. Unfortunately, it seems that Twitter has interpreted some of this commentary as genuine threats.

It doesn't surprise me that a bot wouldn't be able to understand context but I think the user should be able to talk to a moderator and get his/her account back in a scenario like this.
