Nice Deb Latest Victim of Lefty Liars

About My blog’s Suspension « Nice Deb

All I know is that it was due to a “violation of terms of service”. I never received any kind of warning about the alleged violation, and I’ve yet to receive an explanation from WordPress.com for what happened. As far as I know, it may have been nothing more than an internet glitch.

I’d like to thank everyone who lobbied WordPress to get my blog back online – the news spread on Twitter like wildfire…during the dinner hour while I was celebrating my husband’s birthday. It was almost impossible to keep up with all the helpful tweets.

This ploy has been used so often that one has to wonder why the hosting companies have not put into place better safeguards against it – at the very least, immediate communication with the blog operator explaining why the blog has been suspended, and immediately offering an avenue to refute the charges on which the suspension is based.

This is a free speech issue, as far as I’m concerned, and as such, I’m more or less amenable to hosting companies being subject to regulations requiring safeguards against these unfounded shutdowns.
