Twitter has suspended the account of a popular gay porn news site.
Twitter has seemingly suspended the account of St8UpGayPorn.com and has yet to reply to calls for an explanation from the website’s editor Zachary Sire.
The editor claims, via a post on the site, that neither he or any of the people who tweet from the website’s Twitter account have violated any of Twitter’s terms of service.
Writing on the website, Sire said,
“The inexplicable suspension could’ve happened for any reason, and after nearly 48 hours, Twitter has yet to provide Str8UpGayPorn or any of the account’s 30,000 followers with an explanation as to why the account was suspended.
“Multiple inquiries and appeals have been made to Twitter to have the account un-suspended, and this should be resolved before the end of the week. Even when and if the account is un-suspended, this incident serves as a good reminder that Twitter’s so-called rules are arbitrarily enforced, and anyone can be suspended at any time, fair or not.”
The site, which reports on news from the gay porn industry, has in the past come under criticism for some of the stories and the way in which it reports on various individuals, however has a legion of fans who reacted to the news with shock.
