I know I will be fine. The main advertising site here, stopped allowing us to link own site + socials. It did impact my Dublin business for a short while.

Elon's site definitely brought me quality clients, who did longer bookings. But have seen other established providers do very well without it.

Yeah, I am based in Dublin. I have my own website. I will probably rely on WhatsApp status and email any Dublin clients to let them know about my tour.

Most of my clients stopped using the main advertising site in Ireland. They used Elon's site to check in.

I get ya. I am supposed to be touring Dublin in 2 weeks time. Unfortunately, just poor timing. It is why I was expanding on other sites, as it did seem inevitable.

As a lot of my clients use that to keep up to date. Just in the short term, I will be taking a financial hit 🫠

What's your Twitter account? I will believe you then. Not a spam/hacker bot.

Thanks ❤️ It was so disheartening to discover on Saturday afternoon. Apparently lots of SWers have seen a wave of suspensions over the last few weeks.

Wish they could have waited a month, before I finished up for the year.

I will create another account over the next week, but it is hard to see 12 years of work, just ripped from underneath you.

That account due to the number of followers I worked so hard to accrue, had done a lot of work for advocacy in Ireland. It connected me with other SWers. Now it is gone 💔

I can't speak too much on it, but I am currently taking a court case after what happened.

I am hoping it will help me get closure and justice, on top of the other supports I am using to help me heal through this difficult time

I am starting to return to see clients again, will be doing a few tours too.

There are too many social media platforms for me to keep on top of.

But yes, I had a really horrible incident during my March tour.

For my mental health, I had to cancel my tours for the year.

5. The inevitable calls by Gardaí and the law's supporters for more powers of arrest, prosecution, etc., completely failed to consider whether some of these measures are even feasible from a legal/constitutional standpoint. Hint: if you need unlawful measures to enforce a law, it's UNENFORCEABLE
