Twitchy told you about the plights of @FreeMarket_US and @ChrisLoesch — both knocked off Twitter unjustly and then reinstated by Twitter after a surge of support from fellow conservatives online. The fight continues. Tonight, conservative activists publicized the suspension of @shanewright22.
I wasn't going to tweet this evening…dog tired. But we can't let fellow conservatives be silenced #FreeShaneWright22 #tcot—

Vocal conservative social-media activists helped bring the infestation of “progressive” flag-spam abusers to Twitter’s attention. Leftists scoffed at #twittergulag, but Twitter responded by reinstating many accounts.
As Dana Loesch reported — in a smackdown of ill-informed Yahoo.com reporter Chris Wilson – the Leftists’ maliciously coordinated blocks of conservative users are real and the subject of Twitter investigation:
From Twitter, bold my emphasis:
You’ve been unsuspended, and I’ve asked the team to monitor the account [...] we are still investigating the best ways to work on this …
[...]the coordinated blocks may still trip the automated systems, but we will try to stay a step ahead
[...]You may also refer to my note that coordinated blocks could trip the automated spam systems …
[...]Please note your follower/following counts maybe a little screwy for an hour or so after suspension/reinstatement. Thanks for your patience.
… It was suspended and it was a coordinated effort and it seems some of those who are spinning the fastest are the ones guilty of the TOS violation themselves…
An activist has created @FreeChrisLoesch (not affiliated with Chris Loesch) to keep track on Twitter of conservatives stuck in #twittergulag. There is also a @TwitterGulag account to help publicize the plight of those targeted by progressive silencers.
Look who they let out of #TwitterGulag ! Thanks for everyone's support and well wishes! #freepaulrevered1776 #FreePatriots #FreeChrisLoesch—

Thank you, Twitter. Shane Wright is free and the coordinated spam block was confirmed:
Twitter has confirmed that my account WAS spam blocked! This is unacceptable! I am FREE now and I will be LOUD as ever #FreeShaneWright22—
Shane Wright (@ShaneWright22) May 12, 2012
HUGE PROPS to @JustenCharters and #Resist44 as well as @TheCourtMarie and @michellemalkin for their help tonight! #FreeShaneWright22—
Shane Wright (@ShaneWright22) May 12, 2012
The Conservative Movement cannot and will not be silenced! Thank you all so much! #FreeShaneWright22 #tcot #resist44 #TeaParty—
Shane Wright (@ShaneWright22) May 12, 2012
We also heard from Angie Mancuso, who is now unsuspended and got similar confirmation that she was victim of a coordinated spam block attack. She notes that prior to her suspension, she had been interacting with #stoprush liberal Twitter activists.
@ShaneWright22 Congrats on your release from #twittergulag. Just got out myself!—
Angie Mancuso (@AngieMancuso) May 12, 2012
I am FREE FROM #TWITTERGULAG! So many people to thank I don't know where to begin!—
Angie Mancuso (@AngieMancuso) May 12, 2012

We’ll keep on ‘em, too.

Ken Gardner has some advice:
PSA: trolls are trying to get people suspended by baiting them to respond, then reporting them for spam from their mentions column. Beware!—
Ken Gardner (@kesgardner) May 12, 2012
@AngieMancuso They bait you into responding, then they report you from their mentions column where spam reports have greater weight.—
