FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Authorโ€™s Verified X Account Blocked for Over 180 Days Due to Bug โ€“ No Human Response from Platform

April 10, 2025 โ€” United Kingdom โ€” Author and conservationist Martin Newbold, known for his published works including The Stealing of Emily and The Badgers of Bunger Hill, has been locked out of his verified X (formerly Twitter) account for over six months, after the platform incorrectly flagged all his activity as โ€œautomated.โ€

Despite repeated support requests and a detailed technical report filed via HackerOne in October 2024 (#3065988), the platform has failed to respond or restore access. Newboldโ€™s follower count has also been mysteriously erased.

โ€œThis is not just a glitchโ€”itโ€™s a denial of voice,โ€ said Newbold. โ€œPlatforms like X canโ€™t claim to champion free speech while allowing AI bugs to silence real people for months, without appeal.โ€

The error appears to stem from an overzealous anti-spam algorithm or CORS-related technical fault, a problem reportedly affecting other users as well.

Newbold has now filed a formal complaint to Ofcom, citing Xโ€™s systemic failure to provide redress, as required under the UKโ€™s Online Safety regime.
