Twitter sends us to Twitter jail. Our response
Jack Dorsey and friends locked Press California out of its account. After 12 hours of limbo, they told us why.
We had posted a link to Steve Bannon’s War Room because of reader demand and interest. The show is harder to find than Bigfoot on the Internet these days, after the former White House advisor’s rhetorical heads on spike comment.
Ironically, we posted to an episode (without the Bannon quip) in Mandarin, because more Chinese have access to and are watching the U.S. elections soap opera than Americans.

Twitter they would spring us if we removed the link. Here was our response:
Dear Twitter,
I was locked out for posting a link to an episode of Steve Bannon’s War Room in Chinese. It wasn’t the one with his head on spike comment. Not sure why Twitter would allow Kathy Griffin to hold up a severed and bloody Trump effigy head, and lock me out instead. Could you please share the relevant guidelines on this matter that were used to determine our cases, so I can best make Twitter decisions in the future? The hundreds of thousands of readers on PressCalifornia.com, the largest independent news aggregator in California, where this issue is being covered, and I would like to know. Thank for you considering this appeal.
Yours,

We Don’t Need the Socials
Press California is not holding its breathing waiting for a decision. Honestly, Twitter provides little ROI in terms of time. They’ve shadow banned and muted us, and constantly removed our followers. (It’s as if they know how to run a modern U.S. election).
You can find us on Parler and Gab if you want to communicate with us on the socials. But honestly, we prefer that people engage with us here on the site so we are not beholden any outside company for traffic.
Please share Press California! And please hit the tip jar. Every bit helps in the escalating information warfare. Thanks.

I created a Parler account over the weekend. Twits are so 2016.
The FIRST mistake many of you have made was to get on social media in the first place! I never thought it was a good idea! Now you have idiots taking recommendations form bigger idiots like Iggy Azalea.
I’m almost done cutting all the cords. Move into from gmail to protonmail will pretty much remove me from a most polluted ecosystem and not have my voice silenced, it will be in less commercial venues.
Hey Buttercup, who needs Jerk Dorsey & Twatter?
4Q him and the ass he rode in on,
Why do you still have a Twitter account? Dump them.
As for the tip jar, have you considered accepting crypto?
I’m the cat in charge, and not too tech savvy. Any suggested vendors?
There are no vendors or banks. It’s a trustless system using blockchain. Basically you are your own bank. Your bank is your wallet. You simply post an account of your own creation and people can deposit it as they please.
bitcoin.org explains it all very well. It’s not nearly as intimidating as it sounds. It took me all of two hours to get a handle on it and I’m not the sharpest bulb in the crayon box.
Great response to Jack the Jerk. Support you 100%!
Communism is on the march and all we do is bitch. Meanwhile they are moving forward regardless of what happens day to day legal or not.

I was first temporarily suspended on the useless, woke, NextDoor.com, then, permanently banned. Just because I was telling it like it is in Santa Monica, and two women Jennifer P. and Dominique kept reporting me to them for “ranting”. Then my posts on change.org, a petition to remove the radical mayor, and remove a 7 ft. high statue to the homeless, well, those posts evidently irritated some woke 21 year old employee, so those posts were removed. NextDoor, Change, Twitter, all of them, are complete wastes of time, just tools of the woke media that has hijacked the brains of… Read more »
Me too! I have an alias on ND so I can at least follow what’s going on in the neighborhood and I don’t comment at all. Seems like every Twit acct I follow has been suspended. The censorship is so blatant it’s scary. I’m so sorry about Santa Monica. It too has become 3rd world. I wish I understood the motives of these mayors for destroying their cities.
The mayors are compromised…think “ things you have done in your past that would cause shame or humiliation “. They must continue to play the game or be exposed.
Personally, I would out myself ….”I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.”
I only read the “For Sale” section, think of it as a digital “Pennysaver”. 😁
I don’t say a word on mine, just observe the lunatics’.
The only thing us peons can do is not buy anything advertised on Twitter.
The better thing to do would be to cancel Twitter altogether.
Oh my, you must have spoken the truth. Are you all on Parler yet?

Oh for heaven’s sake. Jack the Jerk and his Jesters. Aaaahhhh!!!
