Twitter is now BANNING accounts that post links to other social media platforms. You're no longer even allowed to tweet out what your username is on other sites.

You basically need an attorney to let you know what you can and cannot tweet.

This is unprecedented censorship.

@corlin brilliant, thanks - I love microfiction πŸ™‚

Hi! I'm Alastair - by training, by trade, and nerd by nature. I also write (mainly but not exclusively ).

Born in the UK, I'm married with 2 adult children, and have lived north of Prague, Czech Republic, since the 1990s (I'm a bilingual dual national). I enjoy travelling, coffee and bad puns πŸ™‚

You can find my published fiction and links through linktr.ee/alastairmillar - enjoy!
