More grumbling about Twitter X - why just because I travel from one country to another, when logging in, encounter being blocked - suspicious activity, too many log-in attempts when it is just one?

FYI - I have reported some issues to X and to my surprise they did take action against one.
Speaks for money except we never know how the other lot would do!

"Same old culprits(s)! And they've supposed to have reformed themselves radically since 2017!
Today's censored, blocked, or just upsetting somebody's disappeared earlier posting on X. Frustrating not to know who, why! Probably I'm adding a dimension they don't want. @cyberscammonitor.bsky.social
I still can't find out if it's mysterious censoring or X just want me to pay money to be verified. Why should we? www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyrx53zeg4o
Good @freemovement.bsky.social, the debate should add more pressure. Can't rely on @StateDept reports: they're distorted under @realDonaldTrump who began family separation as a deliberate immigration policy. newsletter.freemovement.org.uk
More not exactly responsible reporting. Even harder these days for both local and foreign journalists to give a balanced evidence-based picture. Once principled media are caught up in the nationalism and anti-Thai wave. @mongabay.com cambodianess.com/article/fore... #Cambodia #Thailand
Today's disappearing post on X but copied for here. The barrage of anti-Thai comments will not help to re-establish harmony and jobs. This commentator is or was an official in the Foreign Affairs Ministry but that's not stated. cambodianess.com/article/driv... thailand.iom.int/news/cambodi...
@sheehanistan.bsky.social Known as "Win-Win" or "I win, you lose!" Daft donors - @USAID in particular have kept on spending money "assisting" authorities to tackle crime, despite absolutely no will to do so, quite the opposite.
Grrrh! Are they just after money and want paid subscribers only, or only those whose views accord with Elon's?
Twitter X gets more annoying. I can't search any more and then tweets seem to go but don't. No problems here but who sees?
Interview with Duncan McAuley, CEO Action Foundation. Thank goodness such fine deeds go on but what a shame #UK lost the enlightened post-WWII culture where we led in tolerance and provisions for @refugees etc. northeastbylines.co.uk/news/educati...
Slick fundraising, heart-string pulling images. Worst offenders? The major "Conservation NGOs", household names, royal patronage, but with abysmal records in protecting environments or poor indigenous people. www.thirdsector.co.uk/cbi/2025 anorthumbrianabroad.blogspot.com/2020/04/doin...
@tomatit0.bsky.social Welcome to the other side - no Elon algorithms!

The US Embassy in Phnom Penh a quite new large expensive building and grounds in the most desirable part of the city still with public spaces and greenery.

@jeremykonyndyk.bsky.social X wouldn't allow me to post anything with a four letter word beginning with D and ending in E.
My first engagements with #USIP when it funded and promoted Culture of Peace events in post-conflict #Cambodia, later it supported research and latterly exposures of international mega-crimes. #Trump/#Musk ending all that? www.usip.org/publications...
Give up on X? Well so far I'm up to 43 attempts to post this left. Elon's free speech algorithms working well. @ritthyou.bsky.social @SkeetCambodia @marisakabas.bsky.social
Image of a small garment factory with the door open to see in and to allow in any breezes to offset the oppressive heat.
Relevant images to illustrate the points made. This is one of many small garment producers replacing the bigger factories where workers were more organised. Just a few fans for ventilation to supplement the open door and meshed spaces. Working throughout day-time peak temperatures.
A little bit of #StHelena here, even if we need to correct #DailyMirror. @sthelenafocus.bsky.social @westmorelandken.bsky.social
Not to mention this duplicity:
