X (Twitter) blocks dozens of accounts of Spanish media, scientists and popularizers without prior notice.

X (Twitter) has been around for about 24 hours. blocking and suspension of accounts related to scientific dissemination, media and institutions. The massacre of profiles focused on Spain, as we see in the list prepared by ArtFacha With dozens of users are blocked.

The cited source also indicates that X Spain does not mention, as confirmed by some secondary accounts from the affected whistleblowers. Joaquin Puerma, owner of a blocked profile @drpuermathe public from their backup profile that the platform “destroyed his account” for non-compliance with rules. A couple of answers below Add who unsuccessfully tried to appeal this decision: “Three times my appeal was rejected without explanation.”

On social networks you can see opinions that view this problem as the technical errorothers believe that mass suspension focuses on stories from female whistleblowers and also, the majority they ask for an explanation without knowing very well what’s happening.

The reality we see is that suspensions, although related to disclosure, They do not offer a general framework by which to determine the cause of massive blockage.. X (Twitter) means non-compliance – a general and extremely ambiguous indication.

Hundreds of X (Twitter) accounts without a single explanation

The overall tone is tense and makes it clear that X (Twitter) did not give a single clear explanation for any blocking. Moreover, as we have already pointed out in the case of Dr. Puerma, There doesn’t seem to be an option to appeal using the forms that the social network offers, so reactivation of profiles is currently not possible.

We have statements from Anabel Forte, the owner of the profile. @Anabaes Professor and researcher at the Department of Statistics at the University of Valencia. “I was drinking coffee and reposted a post about a podcast I usually listen to. About half an hour later, X (Twitter) blocked me. access to the account with the option “click here if you think this was a mistake.” It didn’t help because I immediately received an email saying my account was permanently blocked,” Anabel told us over the phone.

“In about 24 hours I still don’t receive any messages through a social network and not being able to access my account,” he added.

One group takes responsibility for many reports

As we write these words, publication What could explain some of the blocking by X (Twitter). The Unga Reactions group took responsibility for reporting many blocked accounts.

On their own Telegram channel they upload seizures attributed to them according to complaints. There is no doubt, since the messages indicate the reported case and the permission of the social network, therefore this report can only be seen by the user who filed the complaint. As we see in the messaging app, they dozens of accounts that were deactivatedprobably with a network of influential profiles.
