The conservative Twitter community remains ever-vigilant against the online Left’s Coordinated Spam-Block Bloc. We’ve tracked it for a month now since the unjust suspension of @Freemarket_US in April, then through the confirmed coordinated attack on @ChrisLoesch less than week after that, and then the suspension and release of @ShaneWright22 (also confirmed as a Coordinated Spam-Block bloc attack) and many others earlier this month.
Tonight, conservative Twitter activists sent word that an editor from Misfit Politics, @gopfirecracker, had her account suspended.
Another Twitter user suspended tonight: @orwellforce
Hey everyone. It seems that @orwellforce has been suspended. Apparently, no reason given by @twitter. WTF?

We’ve let some Twitter powers-that-be know and hope that they’ll be sprung soon.
But we agree with the exasperation expressed here:
Seriously, @twitter? I love you, but how long be4 the ability 2 stifle free speech is no longer a part of the platform? #FreeGOPFirecracker

@michellemalkin When is @twitter going to suspend those falsely reporting as spam! This has to Stop! It's ridiculous!

Some steps to remember if you get Twitter Gulag’ed.
1. File a ticket. Twitter can’t help unless you do this.
2. Take screenshots if possible. Make a list of the Twitter users you were tweeting with before your suspension and note the subjects you were discussing.
3. Give Twitter a little time — at least 24-48 hours.
4. Notify @FreeChrisLoesch and @TWlTTERGULAG, two accounts that keep running tallies of users trapped in #twittergulag.
5. Make noise! Keep making noise!

She says, “Twitter confirmed that I was targeted.”
@jhf5 @michellemalkin @TwitchyTeam Hi, I'm a woman, actually. And I broke no rules. Twitter confirmed that I was targeted.

Also, big thanks to Twitter @Support for getting me back up and running so fast. I appreciate it.
