=== EU Ban on Posting (02:20) ===

[00:00:00]  Hello folks, as you can see, I've been suspended from Twitter, and I don't know why, because I didn't do anything.
[00:00:08]  I was playing ARC and listening to the DNC forum, because I hadn't been through it yet, it's like an eight-hour stream, but I was going through to find the most choice bits to bring to you to talk about in a video.
[00:00:19]  And this happened, and so I don't really know what's going on.
[00:00:22]  I mean, my pinned tweet is don't send a threat, so I'm guessing it's not because I sent a threat, because obviously I don't send threats, because that's ridiculous, or any kind of like harassment.
[00:00:32]  It's just not on.
[00:00:34]  And because this will happen, basically.
[00:00:37]  So, yeah, but the thing is, I don't really know what I've done.
[00:00:39]  I mean, you know, I was mocking Donald Trump.
[00:00:41]  Or, I mean, this is the only thing that I can think of that's vaguely likely.
[00:00:46]  So, I replied to a tweet from the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Vice President of the EU Commission, Federica McCarini.
[00:00:58]  She said, A peaceful and diverse Europe is everyone's interest and responsibility.
[00:01:02]  And I just asked, hasn't mass Islamic immigration to Europe drastically raised the odds of terror attacks, though?
[00:01:08]  Because I assume that that's the case.
[00:01:10]  I mean, I should have gone and looked up the statistics, but I mean, she's the person surely who knows.
[00:01:15]  So, I thought I'd ask.
[00:01:17]  And it's a question.
[00:01:18]  And if it turned out that it wasn't, I'd say, okay, well, fair enough.
[00:01:20]  Put my hands up.
[00:01:22]  But again, it's not abuse.
[00:01:24]  It's not offensive.
[00:01:25]  It's just a question.
[00:01:27]  But I mean, other people have been posting things offensive, but look, their accounts haven't been banned.
[00:01:35]  It's just mine.
[00:01:36]  So I'm guessing that wasn't the problem.
[00:01:39]  And even then, I don't think offence is a reason to ban people.
[00:01:42]  But yeah, no, I was just, you know, mocking the Democrats, just posting the usual sort of nonsense, but it's not stuff that I think is ban worthy.
[00:01:58]  But yeah, so there's apparently, and the weird thing is, I can still see my notifications and stuff.
[00:02:04]  So I believe people are using the hashtag FreeSargon.
[00:02:08]  So if you could do me a favour and take to Twitter and use the hashtag to voice your opinion on the subject, I would greatly appreciate it.
[00:02:17]  And hopefully they'll restore me.
