      I got something of an update. The post office thought the screenshots I was sending them to prove they blocked me were malware.pic.twitter.com/eFHe5JlZaF

      Then we had a nice chat about why I was talking to them, instead of @usps, which inexplicably blocks mepic.twitter.com/teaqy5gt0c

      It took from Thursday through Tuesday for someone to finally decide 'it's safe to unblock her.' Thanks Kevin for making that executive callpic.twitter.com/22LceDpIMD

      The exemption allows them to redact the name of any past or present customer of the postal service, which, uh, is everyone?pic.twitter.com/jX3HXZG9Iq

      Second part of my FOIA was a request for any documented social media protocols. I wanted to know WHY they would block anyone, not just me.

          They seem to think they provided that, but all I got was the email thread about my own blocking. Nothing on protocols. So appealing that now

          Stay tuned! In the meantime, special thanks to @xor for pointing out how easy and fruitful it could be to FOIA the Postal Service.
