Is Twitter - X.com Down? Or it is now Twitter - X.com that is denying me access?
Yesterday, I denounced the genocide in Gaza. I also cannot access my email-address list from my personal email server.
Situation Report 2024-10-28 and -29.
If the Twitter - X.com outage is not global, but involves specifically me and just selected others, I ask: “Is this how the "Fighters for Free Speech" defend free speech?”
This is more than merely restricting “reach.”
I do not think that I can hardly be important enough to warrant this kind of attention.

Also, my email server is not permitting me to access my list of recipients’ email addresses.
Day 2. I still cannot access Twitter (X.com). How much do you want to bet that this will continue through the election--and depending on events--beyond? Until we understand the mechanisms of control as they work from within and from without the organization of Twitter, it is difficult to say what is occurring. This is not a good sign. I certainly have not said anything that could be misinterpretted as running afoul with the law. As most now know, however, corporations represent in practice an extra-legal, parallel if not superseding, system of governance in our lives with decisions rendered in some cases we know of by very low-level corporate actors and cubicle workers.
