What state were they restored to? If they were accessible, why did they have to be restored?

If you're going to argue "a ban doesn't count if it's reversed after a couple of hours", what's the threshold? Could Elon ban people for a week without it counting as a ban? What if it happens repeatedly?

If these accounts were banned due to censorship they'd have stayed banned. There are plenty of accounts that were shut down on Twitter that are still disabled today.

And you know that how exactly? Do you work at Twitter? Are you responsible for banning/restoring accounts?

You're making broad statements and assumptions that don't align with reality. The accounts were banned. You don't know why they were banned or restored.
