Black Voices and Free Speech
#Black Voices need to be heard but are they speaking; or screaming. But there may be limitations to speaking as #socialmedia in. #America play God over speech on the internet.
Yet companies such as #Twitter whom I really appreciate is too involved in personal speech utilized on their platforms. People must decide what is good or bad not the Social media companies.
The fact is I twitted:

Twitter after 2 hours of approving and promoting my tweet stopped it saying that it violated some policy. So, I asked twitter via a tweet:
Why did you pause my tweet. What policy did it or I violate? #twitter please explain? 🤦🏾♂️ what’s going on? It’s a positive tweet to get the dialogue going and @TIME had an article about this very issue today. Why did you stop my tweet promoting my blog and writings.
Twitter is yet to respond and my ad remains dormant. I believe that someone made a comment in response to my tweet that made twitter stopped it. But why stop the entire campaign😳
Now then, Facebook recently launched a campaign to encourage Black Voices to speak out. In fact several platforms are now inviting more black speakers writers and commentators. So the media houses are not innocent of not doing enough to protect and advance #blackspeech. They have. Paused my speech saying it violated policy but have not indicated the policy or the action or tweet that violated the policy so that I can edit and continue with the promotion. They have not reached out to me further. I hope they reconsider.
