this is the first time I have had this problem.

Twitter unblocked it today, gave a bullshit excuse, said nothing about needing a phone number, but that was the reason they said they blocked it in the first place. Doesn't add up at all. Obvious they wanted access to my smart phone number, which, if I gave them one, they say they would use for advertising,

If you ever do get blocked, lots of info. about how to "appeal" on google.
