Twitter censorship experiment. Twitter blocks other users from seeing a tweet with my website URL. It never told me it was doing this. Never gave me right of reply. I understand Twitter sets its own terms. But why so lacking transparency about what it does? So let’s test.

Would you reply with your website url? I link to stuff all the time if it starts to play a non hate censorship game it loses its purpose

Its a perfectly harmless unobjectionable discussion about money available to child migrants in England and Wales. Not even written by me!

It seem to be limited to the URL of my website which is being censored for some unknown reason as I have not been told why. So I have attempted to pay to promote tweets and will see if money talks....

WTF? And what happens if someone else tweets it?

Someone else tried to tweet the website address - tweet marked ‘unavailable’. I think you can see it IF you go to my timeline but it cannot be published anywhere else. So a very sly form of censorship as not immediately obvious to me.
