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.








Twitter maintains that I violated their rules by posting the same information that other accounts have not been locked for posting. They have only given me one option, delete the tweet which does not violate their rules. 








I have appealed their decision again. Twitter only gives you a small box with a limited number of characters to type in, making it super difficult to file any kind of meaningful appeal. I can't send them links to the numerous other tweets currently residing on Twitter which contain the same information. I can't send them links to the numerous webpages containing the already public mailing address for the Washington Post. Twitter is a scam run by a rich piece of crap.

My advisory opinion from the Virginia Freedom of Information Advisory Council is in...

The Virginia Freedom of Information Advisory Council has weighed in with an advisory opinion on the scenario I laid out regarding the city of Charlottesville, Virginia's absurd denial of my First Amendment rights. The opinion was written by Alan Gerhardt, Esq., the Executive Director of the Council. Essentially what the opinion says is that no, the city of Charlottesville can't do what they are doing to me, but in the same breath, yes, they can keep doing it until you force them not to, through legal action (assuming a judge rules in my favor.) They are more or less thumbing their nose at me saying, "Go ahead and do something, we dare you. LOL!" We may get to that, but first, I need to continue to gather facts. In the short time since the denial, I've gathered some interesting ones that likely won't look very good for the city of Charlottesville who coincidentally won't even acknowledge emails from me any longer, or at least they haven'...

The Charlottesville Transparency Project is now live on Muckrock. The goal is to bring a little sunlight to a city that certainly appears to need it badly. The Charlottesville Transparency Project is a 100 % self-funded, non-commercial investigative journalism project and public service to the residents of Charlottesville and the entire state of Virginia.

Did the city of Charlottesville hire their new Public Information Officer's BECAUSE they have media backgrounds?

Totally free and legal to speculate. What I find interesting is that they always hit you on residency, but never seem to address the other half of the section of code referencing representatives of news media organizations.  So weird. It's almost like it's by design or something. Anyway. Both of these guys have media backgrounds. Just some food for thought.
