This will now be my Sixth blog post about the censorship happening at Twitter. You can find links to all of those blogs in my last blog about the Twitter Shadowbans here: https://www.yours.org/content/shadowbanned-again--twitter-gives-me-less-than-48-hours-of-freedom-f5db464d1c64

I've been dealing with Shadowbans/Twitter Censorship for over two months, and while Tim Pool mentions in the video that Twitter is targeting a specific political belief. We have seen Jack Dorsey's platform directly seem to target Bitcoin Casher's. We were able to see this happen after a Twitter Algorithm hit a large portion of the Cryptocurrency community. They quickly fixed Bitcoin Core users, and then fixed the XRP communities censorship issues, but not only skipped over the BCH community, but continued to target certain members of the community.

It's Happening Again

So the ENTIRE cryptocurrency community is being hit once again, and the previously affected accounts seemed to be the first one's hit.

As is said in the video above, just replying to the bots have caused a snowball affect. This was on April 25th, and they said they were taking actions to correct it, but over the last couple weeks you can see hundreds of tweets complaining about how peoples accounts are being "temporarily restricted," I'm currently affected now. So it seems to be getting worse and accelerating.

When my account was restricted I was following over 3000 people. I've spent the last few years building this list by following everyone who has followed me, just over 1500 people, because if you have taken the time to follow me then I always felt you deserved a "follow back." I've also followed another 1500+ people, news organizations and groups I'm interested in. Each one of these human beings affected my life by making me laugh, engaged me in a great debate, created something I loved, or just spread love to others. Of course, Twitter has not responded, and returned that list to me, even though their faulty algorithm seems to target people who are just, " not liked. " Welcome to being a lover of Bitcoin Cash, where you are hated by everyone. Then censored by Twitter because it makes people, " FEEL BAD. "

Can't post

This "temporarily restricted" account is much worse than I wrote about in the previous blogs. It is not just a shadowban , but you can not post and can not even like tweets. On top of that, since all the people you followed have been removed from your account all the notifications you had turned on to keep up with the news in a particular community are no longer delivered.

The first e-mail you get from Twitter support, after begging them to look into your falsely restricted account. Is an automated message telling you to reset your password. After doing this, 24 hours later you are released from the restriction, but after replying to a few tweets about this issue. A total of 4 tweets I was then Restricted again.

FUBAR'd

This time around, Twitter really messed up, hundreds, if not thousands, of people are being affected by this faulty Algorithm and days/weeks are passing without a fix, has Twitter destroyed it's database, or is it repairable? Can't they just turn off the Algorithm? Perhaps go back to the Drawing Board?

Why is the the algorithm still running?

My guess? When you delete all the users ability to post to Twitter you also delete all the scammers/spammers. This was supposed to be Twitter's main goal, but it turned out to break a lot of legitimate users account's. This time Bitcoin Core, and Bitcoin Cash as well as every facet of the cryptocurrency space is being affected.

How to Prevent It

If you have already been shadowbanned, in the past, have replied to Bots/scammers trying to warn Noobs that "it's a trap."

If you have blocked spammers/scammers.

If you have been followed by and your comments' tweets were used to spread their scams.

OR

If you have been falsely reported by your debate opponent

participate in debates that cause others to dislike you

play devils advocate to get people to think

been blocked by lots of people due to your beliefs.





Then YOU ARE EXTREMELY SUSCEPTIBLE TO RESTRICTION

Don't reply to anyone - ever . If you want to reply retweet their tweet and reply on your own Twitter wall.

If you see scammers/bots - do not block them just ignore them

If you see Scammers/bots do not reply with warnings to others - you will be the one affected

If you see other people who have been restricted or shadowbanned - do not reply directly to their posts, retweet and reply on your own timeline. So....this means me - do not engage. I would rather you protect yourself than enable me in my Social Media addiction.

Tipprbot was restricted. People who were tagging Tipprbot were also getting restricted. It is unknown if people are still getting restricted when tagging Tippr - use caution.

Do not tag or reply to anyone that may have falsely reported you to Twitter. If you are Bitcoin Casher, that is likely every core troll - so good luck having a conversation.

Do not call out the censorship on r/bitcoin or critique Blockstream(Samson, Adam Etc.) - these have been circumstantially linked to people being placed in Restricted mode.

Do Not TAG anyone that has you blocked, again, if your are a Bitcoin Casher - that list is pretty huge so be careful.

Debating in general - if the debate gets heated it is likely the core troll will appeal to authority and falsely report you, so be super nice when debating or just don't do it - Self censoring works too. Let's sanitize the internet so everyone thinks the same. Life will be better - Twitter Says So.

It has been awhile since I posted on Yours.org, because the time put in to creating content has not been paying off, I blame Bitcoin(BTC) for ruining the Crypto market/price for that.
