He now has a chance to prove it. On April<br>24, I learned that my Twitter account which I have had for over a<br>decade had been suspended. I quickly learned that mine was not<br>the only one. Accounts belonging to fellow nationalists<br>broadcaster James Edwards, authors Professor Kevin<br>MacDonald and Dr. Tom Sunic, and the American Freedom<br>Party were suspended the same day, interestingly the same day<br>popular populist broadcaster Tucker Carlson was purged from<br>Fox News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was Twitter&#8217;s message: &#8220;After careful review, wedetermined your account broke the Twitter Rules. Your account<br>is permanently in read-only mode, which means you can\u2019t Tweet,<br>Retweet, or Like content. You won\u2019t be able to create new<br>accounts. If you think we got this wrong, you can submit an<br>appeal.&#8221;All five of us appealed. Mr. Edwards and I sent in threeappeals. Both Mr. Edwards and I have had our accounts for over a<br>decade and encountered no troubles. We asked what Twitter<br>Rules we had broken.<br>My appeal read: &#8220;My suspension came as ashock. I am not aware of breaking any Twitter rules. I wish to<br>know how I offended and ask that my account be restored. I<br>protest the denial of due process, any sort of a hearing or dialogue<br>or proper notice of exactly in what way I broke Twitter rules.&#8221;<br>There has been no response from Twitter to the various appeals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accordingly, CAFE reached out and obtained the assistance of a<br>prominent California lawyer to take our appeals further up the<br>food chain and, hopefully, directly to Elon Musk. &#8212; Paul Fromm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PAUL-ALTERNATIVE-FORUM-MARCH-2023-3-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PAUL-ALTERNATIVE-FORUM-MARCH-2023-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PAUL-ALTERNATIVE-FORUM-MARCH-2023-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PAUL-ALTERNATIVE-FORUM-MARCH-2023-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PAUL-ALTERNATIVE-FORUM-MARCH-2023-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PAUL-ALTERNATIVE-FORUM-MARCH-2023-3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PAUL-ALTERNATIVE-FORUM-MARCH-2023-3-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PAUL-ALTERNATIVE-FORUM-MARCH-2023-3-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Twitter Account Was Suspended; CAFE Retains Legal Help The new owner of Twitter, Elon Musk, has made a name forhimself opposing censorship and promised to free Twitter frompolitical censorship.
