The neverending autobanning saga goes on but now in Twitter

Hi, dear readers! I guess someone may remember my older rants about google plus bannings and shit of that sort? Well, here's a new case but this time in the tweetybird microblogging service! I just posted a slightly annoyed text post in tumblr, which I just decided to c/p here for your enjoyment.

I'm sorry this isn't a naughty post and it has not a single naughty pic, either. I'll improve on that side soon, I promise to do that :)

Siiiiiiigghhhhhhhh
I was setting up a twitter account earlier today. All I got to do was to post something like “Good morning, everyone” and some other simple thing. Followed a user I wanted to chat with, while doing that clicked “show” on a bunch of their posts that were automagically hidden for being #nsfw. Finally I searched for Bailey Jay, remembering she had an official twitty acct.

Being at work I did something else for a short while, then came back to that tab. What greeted me was a “you have been locked because you act like a bot” or some horseshit like that. All I could do after that was to fill a captcha and give a cell number for verification purposes. Fuck that shit. I hadn’t added a profile pic / background pic that was infringing on anyone’s copyright, as I didn’t get to do that XD

They don’t require a phone number to sign up. So I’m not going to give it now, it’s not something I feel twirper or any other social media company should have, as far as I can have my say - I know I can’t prevent some well-intentioning idiot sharing their phonebooks with everyone they encounter.

So, all in all: two text posts, a follow and five minutes of idling is apparently “automated behaviour” and worth kind of blackmailing for phone numbers - that’s what I liken this “we keep your Social Media thing under locks until you give this fucking important personal piece of information about yourself that you supposedly weren’t going to be asked for” crap as a fucking stupid and weak approach at exhortation. It’d be worse if they did this fuckery after I had actually gotten into the damn shit and maybe even relied on it somehow, being practically unable to let it go. Luckily I don’t actually invest myself into social media so if they start demanding shit I don’t want to give to them, I just tell them to fuck right off :D

Still, it’s fucking annoying. And that’s why I’m complaining here. It’s just as idiotic as Google+ autobanning based on shit it had pulled from another Google/Alphabet service (blogger). Yes, I know, I use NSFW shit in the blog but not in g+ after multiple autoflagging bans. One day they decided that all my google account folders were open and available on G+, and as the blogger folder was full of porn and shit like that, it caused an autoban. Just because they changed something of theirs. And adult content is ok in blogger, anyway, so the inconcistency is incredible.

Fuck these companies and their shit :D If I disappear from Tumblr one day you all know it’s because of something braindead like this - yet again :D
