A story no-one else could tell; that's the one you should write. Some stories I didn't write are reviewed at

If you interested in a little more detail, here's my story about being banned from YouTube for something I didn't do, and how hard it is to get to talk to a real person about it: https://t.co/T3ztktR4hD @TeamYouTube #youtube @YouTube

Windscribe rescued my data allowance without making me crawl through some corporate maze. Miracles do occur.

@leinsterrugby How come no-one complained about the more than 3 minutes of ET lost to the TMO review? Ref didn't stop the clock. You went over at 13 minutes 50 seconds and he awarded the try at 17 minutes. See it here: https://t.co/3VszVfgIAP

@SonyaMadan I usually listen to #lustra ❤���

There's a first time for everything: Kudos to the Lao govt for sharing dam data!. Official, near real-time data on 51 dams is a huge step for transparency in the Mekong.

@miketatarski There are more than 100 regional categories in Asia, presumably replicated across other regions, hundreds more by country, and World Travel Awards are just one of nine awards. GBP399 to enter a country nomination and GBP499 to enter the regionals and no refunds are allowed…

@bpoppenheimer The king asked Chuang-tzu to draw a crab. He said he needed five years, a house, and twelve servants. Five years later he said, I need another five years. The king granted them. After ten years, Chuang-tzu, with a single stroke, drew the most perfect crab ever seen.

@RobGMacfarlane Beautiful! A visit is on my list as part of decoding my mysterious grandmother's life. Her marriage banns were read there in Feb '42, even though she worked on a farm (she was in the Womens Land Army) in Woodditton, 35 miles away. Why weren't they read at St Mary's in Woodditton?

@RoryStewartUK's April Fool tweet has definitely made @twitter worthwhile over the last few days. The confidence and commitment to stay with the joke when replying to people who've been taken in is admirable and hilarious. @RestIsPolitics https://t.co/YvhJwncbpA

Deeply honoured to have been chosen to work with Boris Johnson on Riddle of Genius. An extradorinary privilege to engage with such a profound subject + such an impressive man debating whether Shakespeare's all he's cracked up to be. Please pre-order here https://t.co/kbEVGzpmUO

@edufk 4. Never been to Hobbiton, never skied in Wanaka, never swum at Piha, (although I've been there), and definitely not a Plunket baby :)

@DrProudman John Key said exactly the same thing when he stepped down.

@acc4help @TeamYouTube @YouTube I could see the words ‘2 videos uploaded’ in the summary before downloading my data. But of course they weren’t included in the download.

@ematsi @YouTube @TeamYouTube Exactly my situation. And even after filling in the ‘I’ve been hacked’ form, they said they couldn’t investigate further because their data protection policy meant they didn’t have enough information. But they had enough to ban me!

[Christopher Howe @cphowe]

. @YouTube update. Messaged on Twitter, spoken on the phone, chatted online, no progress. Eventually thought to check my google data, confirmed two videos uploaded. Couldn't access them but presumably where the problem started. @TeamYouTube seem unwilling to investigate further.

[Christopher Howe @cphowe]

@TeamYouTube Is there any way of finding out when the two videos showing up as being on my channel were uploaded? And from where?

[Christopher Howe @cphowe]

. @YouTube You've suspended my YouTube channel for 'hate speech' but I've never posted any content or made comments. I downloaded my data to be sure no-one's pretending to be me, & there's nothing. My appeals have failed. Can you help? I usually just watch music & rugby videos!

[Christopher Howe @cphowe]

@TeamYouTube I completely understand the seriousness of the situation. It must have been appalling content as I didn't even get sent a warning. But I had absolutely nothing to do with it. I've changed my password. Is there nothing more that can be done?
