Suspended from Twitter for challenging electronic ballots

Shiva Ayyadurai, has been blocked from Twitter. "Account suspended," his Twitter profile read. Ayyadurai's tweets and photos are gone from his timeline.

Twitter did not specify why his account was suspended. Ayyadurai said he believes it is because he tweeted about Secretary of State William Galvin and Michelle Tassinari, the state's director of elections. "Twitter was coerced by the Government--Secretary of State Galvin and State Election Director Tassinari because I exposed TASSINARI violated Federal Law by deleting ballot images," Ayyadurai said. "Restore my Twitter account; otherwise, we live in Putin's Russia or Communist China."

Ayyadurai accused Tassinari of deleting a million electronic ballots during the 2020 primary and general election and filed a lawsuit against Galvin and Tassinari to that affect late last year. Galvin and Tassinari have denied the claim, noting the state's ballots are paper.

Ayyadurai has been accused of using social media to spread misinformation.

Just five major companies now control the digital airwaves

Knowledge is creating the haves and have nots. Those who have privacy and security, and the masses of people who do not. Three to five major companies (e.g. Google, AT&T, Verizon, Twitter, Facebook) now control the digital airwaves. When it comes to digital production, big companies are devastating small investors by the attack on intellectual property rights such as patents and copyrights by large corporations. The founders knew the power of intellectual property. For example, the 30,000 small businesses that came out of MIT today product 2 trillion per year towards the GDP of the United States. The monopolization of intellectual property by large corporations threatens American innovation.
