Tag Archives: I might be a terrorist

Crosswise on X

Sarah Rosensweet

Yesterday I was happily reading posts and responding on X.

One showed an image of two men trying to fix an air conditioner, I think, and doing it in a very unsafe manner, just asking for trouble. The post asked readers to respond to it in three words. I wrote, “Accident Happening Soon.”

As soon as I posted it, I received a message from X that my account had been blocked for ‘violent content.’ I could appeal, so I did. They acknowledged that I answered and said they would review it. My account was blocked for 12 hours. I am now in good standing again now, since I can post, but I think I go on a terror watch list or something and my account could be suspended.

So much for free speech. So much for humans making decisions.

Oh, well. Be advised that I MIGHT be a terrorist and that I should have either skipped the post, not responding at all, or should have ignored the fact that the method the guys were using for the repair was dangerous. I will be more careful in the future.
