***UNFINISHED Why @Twitter unjustly blacklisted my blog: It's all about the money.
Thx @alexhern for explaining why my blog kimiversonheadlee-blogspot-com & 1000s more have been unjustly blacklisted: https://www.theguardian.com/technolog...

"Did trolls cost Twitter $3.5bn and its sale?" (https://www.theguardian.com/technolog...). An article that may explain the recent unjust blacklisting of The Maze and thousands of other legitimate blogs by Twitter in September 2016, written by Guardian technology reporter Alex Hern (@alexhern). Hern's article talks about trolls and bullies, but Twitter's action against "potentially spam or malicious" blogs and other websites also appears to have been motivated by dollars--3.5 billion of them--to make Twitter look more "family friendly" for recent potential buyers such as Disney. The irony is that the tactic didn't help them since all of the potential buyers have left the negotiating table, but legitimate sites such as The Maze continue to suffer under Twitter's unjust blacklisting.
