Dear Mr. Musk:
My X URL is: https://x.com/ZenkerDave
A few weeks ago I was suspended from X without explanation or warning. I went through the appeal process and was denied. I remain present on X in read only. I cannot post, follow, nor can I be followed.
I first joined X, (then Twitter) in 2015. Initially, I did very little with the account. I was interested in becoming more vocal about events around 2021. President Trump was removed from both Twitter and Facebook in that year, so it seemed pointless to undertake the effort. They silenced a sitting President on Twitter and Facebook, neither platform would hesitate to silence me.
To escape the arbitrary censorship President Trump endured, I joined GAB in January 2021.
My GAB URL is: https://gab.com/TexasJournal
GAB is fantastic. It is truly a free speech platform. But, it has far fewer users than X.
Mr. Musk, when you bought X, I took you at your word that you were going to permit free speech. I got Blue Checked and began posting. Shortly thereafter, I was accused of an infraction without clarification or explanation.
I ask that you fulfill your promise.
Please intercede with staff and direct them to restore my full privileges on X. Additionally, whatever it was that I did or whatever rule I violated, I asked that I be informed of my specific infraction. It is of no use to provide a link to X Terms of Service. I need to know specifically what I did. I will then stop doing it.
If you will restore my privileges, I thank you.
If you will not restore my privileges, please do not renew my Blue Check after the current period expires.
Sincerely,
Dave Zenker
