My Newsvine account has been suspended!So much for "Free Speech" on the internet! I had a few problems on my Newsvine Column yesterday (Sunday), and had another "run-in" with someone on there who has been the bane of my Newsvine life ever since I joined the site over a year ago.
To cut a (very) long story short, the gist of the matter is this;
I have regular feeds of articles and news from many different sites, among them the BNP site.
There was a very good piece about those Terrorists in India, that the BNP had asked people to put about on other sites. So, I did so.
Now I have been informed that because I posted the article from the BNP site, my account has been suspended for a week as I have breached the Newsvine "Code of Honor".
Apparently, the British National Party site is on their "Banned" list, and I was hauled over the coals for doing what I did.
So, I am now "personna non gratia" there.
Will I go back after the suspension?
I shall really need to think carefully about it. I hate being told what I can write and what I can't write. After all, it isn't as if they are paying my salary or anything, last month my "earnings" from the site was a paltry Nine Dollars!
So, I shall have to give this some serious thought, and I shall see how I feel in a weeks time.
I'll keep you all informed.
I may just put my own Domain to good use now instead.
