On Wednesday October 24, a large number of Twitter accounts including mine, which focus on Spiritual topics were suspended. For me, this was unexpected since I only post positive uncontroversial tweets.
Admittedly, Twitter as one of the Internet’s largest social media networks probably suspends thousands of accounts daily. However, the suspension of so many of these types of accounts in one fell swoop seems like a direct hit.
Synchronicity
Interestingly my previous article entitled “No Emotional investments On Social Media” directly address this type of situation. Personally, my use of twitter is in accordance with the advice given in this article. Moreover, this apparently unfair move by Twitter cannot reverse the positive impact we have had on people’s lives.
The Irony
The grim reality is that many of our original tweets are stolen as soon as we post them. Many people for example Inner Practitioner do not mind this. However others who desire recognition for their content because of their particular goals and aspirations are negatively affected by this. The irony is that legitimate users who create inspirational content have been banned while Twitter continues to facilitate those who blatantly plagiarize our tweets.
See below the last tweets I posted @kindfeelings_ before it got suspended. My current account is @kindfeelings777

Indeed, maybe one day we’ll find out why.
Puzzles of the Soul
I stopped using Twitter years ago because of all the plagiarism. I complained as no sooner I posted a quote than some failing life coach would copy it and send it out seconds later. There was one woman who employed people to steal the quotes, to make things worse they used to send a copy to me. She was well in with the top crowd on Twitter. No scruples.

Yes plagiarism is a major problem on social media. Sometimes they seal content from twitter and post it to Instagram and vice versa.
My friend came across someone who plagiarized her content from twitter and put it on Instagram. When she confronted him he blocked her.
Many of them who steal content are just doing it as a business. They monetize their social media accounts and make a lot of money.

Very true and also they are failing in their job as counsellor and coaches they have to take from gifted people.
