For the last three days, I've been unable to even read a tweet without an obnoxious giant message completely blocking the screen:
Twitler wrote:"See more tweets by [e.g., @jeffwellsrigint].
When you sign in, you can see more tweets by [@jeffwellsrigint"].
Is anyone else here experiencing the same thing? Or is this treatment restricted to certain IP addresses?
For all its spooky awfulness as a platform, and despite all the purges of the last two years, Twitler is still an essential source of news and analysis and sane comment. Imagine it's the year 1962 and you're forbidden to own a telephone or a TV or a radio.
Global corporations now own essential national and local utilities. They decide who you can talk to or even hear from. They are entirely unaccountable. You have no legal or political redress.
They will very soon be deciding who gets to eat and who doesn't. And when they do, you'll be unable to tell anyone beyond your immediate neighborhood.
