On gab. It's where I found out about this. (also I just saw the cbts subverse thread that was up before my post).

However, like it or not, gab is not as influential, and widespread as twitter. And Assange's account is high profile, not your generic, off the cuff conservative talking about a guitar player named Lynch getting frozen for "hate speech". (That's a bit facetious, Razorfist is not a generic conservative, just a youtuber that started a #notneutrality hashtag).

Kind of why I am curious as to if this is a run of the mill censorship, or something else.

EDIT: Seems like his account came back five hours ago, sent some tweets, including tweets/retweets about the Bill of Rights in the UK, antiquities being stolen, and wikileaks statements like "Despite some oddities from the US Navy and Twitter today and increased physical surveillance @JulianAssange's physical situation at the embassy remains unaltered--confined without charge in violation of two UN rulings requiring the UK to set him free."

Twitter didn't become popular until the powers that be tossed a bunch of money @ celebrities to start shilling. "Be at X store in so many minutes and ill buy you stuff!"

Yeah seems that it could be something else, the Wikileaks twitter is still working.

Twitter was dead 5 minutes after it's pitch and someone asked... "But why?"
