An interesting headline...





This headline caught my eye. I'll have to read this to see what this is all about. Lets skim for the short version.







Hmmm... That's pretty wild!

The University of Virginia apparently hates Freedom of Press...

Image
It's happening again. The University of Virginia is ignoring follow-up inquiries on multiple Freedom of Information Act requests that I have submitted going back to February of 2020.  The hill that the University of Virginia wants to die on is the "You aren't a resident" hill. Meanwhile, the they are completely ignoring my First Amendment guaranteed right of Freedom of the Press. Despite multiple follow-up emails, UVA doesn't seem interested in following the Virginia FOIA law. I hope they have a change of heart because there are other legal remedies available. Denial of my FOIA requests is in my opinion a creative way to stop the public from getting information about the government they are paying for and which belongs to them. Public servants believe that they can use law to actually stop the public from learning what exactly they are doing with the power they have been given by us. Foolish.

Charlottesville apparently denies public information request from Virginia resident...

On April 25, 2019, I submitted a Freedom of Information Act request for public information to the Charlottesville Police Department. The request was submitted through Muckrock, a website designed to promote greater government transparency and make filing a FOIA request easier for the public.

The email data for this particular requests ap...

Twitter locked me out of my account tonight for no reason...

Twitter has locked me out of my account, allegedly for violating their terms of service. I posted the following three screenshots in a tweet this evening which have the journalists name and phone number redacted. Intact was a mailing address to the Washington Post. Twitter provided no specific details about why my account was locked, but I am assuming it is because of the Washington Post mailing address.  Here is all Twitter provided to explain the locking of my account.  I appealed this decision. Twitter's decision to lock my account makes no sense. A simple search for the address on Twitter yields countless tweets containing the same information. There was nothing threatening about my tweets. This is just a sampling. I did not screenshot all of the countless tweets containing the same address. Twitter has some splaining to do. Twit...
