A mate of writes about football on Twitter, with the exception of his last post, which was:
Nadhim Zahawi - do you remember when you said this?
@nadhimzahawi
"We have no plans to introduce vaccine passports. We have vaccinated, as of yesterday, 2,431,648 first dose and 412,167 second dose. No one has been given or will be required to have a vaccine passport."
That was the cause:
this is the result:
"Caution: This account is temporarily restricted. You’re seeing this warning because there has been some unusual activity from this account. Do you still want to view it?" |

Šis ir iemesls kāpēc nešpricētos pat, ja zinātu, ka vakcīna ir 100% legit. Test of submission, as you said.
Do you have any proof that the message was the cause for the result?
My twitter account has been temporarily restricted like this a number of times. No idea what caused this. There was a period when my twitter account got suspended like once in a few days. So what?
It happened last year. I tried to figure out, but did not find anything specific to link the suspensions to.
And I think your mate and you should simply not speculate.
Get off the twitter, it is not essential to you or anybody else. And grab a beer.
I'm not on Twitter. Are you?
I am, but have become a really passive user.
Still, take your own advice and get off it.
I should perhaps have written it in a bit more nuanced manner. I do not mean that one should delete his/her account or never ever look at any tweets. My point is - stop focusing on it as something superimportant. Because it's not.
By the way, I did an exercise of suspending my account for some periods last year. Not bad at all.
His had never been restricted before. He has 1000s of followers. He is a published author. Always apolitical with no expressed view on the current situation, until this tweet, after which his account was restricted.
I don't think you should think we should not speculate.
Also, it is too early for a beer.
I was also not restricted before I was restricted. So what?
You are free to speculate. I am free to have an opinion (speculation?) on that. Seems totally legit to me. How about you?
So what that you get censored by political elites using their proxy big corp media platforms that has complete monopoly on information flow among, us, people, on the internet. I wonder how many "so whats" these guys could generate. There could be lot of so whats in bolshevik Russia, communist Chine and even best Korea. I'd actually be happy, if internet would get unplugged at this rate. Would be better for everyone, even if cause lot of inconvenience given how used to it we are now.
No, you don't get censored. Suspended account is not censorship. You unsuspend it, and it is back with all your tweets.
No, you make a new account and use until it's suspended. Rinse and repeat in this clown world.
There was a bar in Orwell's 1984 where the apparatchiks would drown the sorrows in gin, wasn't there? I should read it again: I might be imagining it.
I can, though, picture it somehow now. Certain people cradling their doses of spirit looking at the 'others' without work or rights in the 'street zone' outside. Some poor youngster might catch their attention, and they would shake their heads gently and softly emit a'nū nū'. Their sorrow placated by their natural misanthropy, their concern about the twice-yearly injections soothed somewhat by the booze. Maybe when the shade of ancient walnut tree sweeps across the table, some memory of childhood would manifest and cause an ache in the roof of the mouth - just before the somewhat clunky CRISPR insert arrested its spread. | |
