"The Emancipation of the Avatar" is now up on my own website: https://www.martingeddes.com/the-emancipation-of-the-avatar/ — My reflection of deplatforming by Twitter and the serfdom that this represents.
Martin, thank you for your eloquent and moving reflection and for your authenticity. So glad you are here. I especially found your words about slavery poignant: "...Deplatforming of creative minds without due process is a slavery issue, too -- as is anything that deprives us of our innate and natural liberties to learn, earn, and speak. Services like Twitter are identity gulags, and their unaccountable powers of identity imprisonment and avatar execution are not acceptable in a civilised society."
Now we fight back. I have faith we will triumph.
