Locked Out for Epstein Vote

COURTHOUSE,
Nov 17 – Twitter became X and
still Inner City Press used it
to report on trials, in the
Southern District of New York
and elsewhere, and on the
United Nations, and banks
behaving badly including Bank
of America being sued for
enable Jeffrey Epstein.
Then, the day before among
other things the Epstein files
vote in Congress, Inner City
Press lost control of its X
account, and for hours X
"Support" did nothing, see
below.
So now,
unable to post to X, this, by
Larry Summers: “I am deeply
ashamed of my actions and
recognize the pain they have
caused. I take full
responsibility for my
misguided decision to continue
communicating with Mr.
Epstein. While continuing to
fulfill my teaching
obligations, I will be
stepping back from public
commitments as one part of my
broader effort to rebuild
trust."
And trust in
today's X?
It became
with an email, seemingly from
X, alleging a copyright
violation for using a UN photo
of Antonio Guterres. Soon the
account - with over 379,000
followers, many of them paid,
for extra - had its password
changed.
A complaint
to X through a form resulted
in an email - which said, it
appears ou still have control
of the account.
But this was
demonstrably false.
One reply
email to X, then more, went
unanswered. The form initially
used now said, your request is
queue, then "something went
wrong, try again
later."
Yes,
something has gone wrong.
