On Tuesday,
Twitter apologized for "mistakenly" blocking the iStandWithPhil.com
website. “The URL IStandWithPhil.com was
mistakenly flagged as spam tonight, by an outside organization that tracks spam
sources. We have restored access and apologize for the error,” Twitter told
Marketing Land on Tuesday.
“Twitter
generally does not act to block content until receiving a report from another
user or group of users, that complaint is then reviewed by Twitter, who decides
whether to take action or not. Normally, the blocked account holder receives an
email notifying them of the action being taken.”
I believe Twitter
about this, this is a favorite tactic of the Progressives on Facebook as
well. They search for post and pages
that run counter to their agenda and report them as either spam or offensive. Leaving it to the owner of the page or author
of the post to straighten it out with Facebook.
The ones who flag the page, comment, or link gets to stay anonymous and suffer
no consequences for their sabotage.
Facebook and
Twitter both should keep track of people who flag things as spam or offensive,
and if they are found to have been complaining to further an agenda their accounts
should be closed. I know that they will
just go an open another account, but if they bar the IP address from opening an
account it would make them have some consequences for their guerilla warfare sabotage
tactics.
