They Got Fired For Writing On Medium
An unsolved mystery. Let this be a warning.
This is a tough one to talk about. Something frustrating has happened to some of my friends.
The platform has permanently suspended their accounts. For good.
We were all left confused and frustrated. There wasn’t any warning, no explanation. And we were left with a thousand questions.
Did they break a rule? Did someone hack their account?
Look, I get that platforms have their rules. They need to keep order. But the way they handled this situation just isn’t right. A permanent shutdown, with no way to even talk about it, and without hearing a reason can’t be justified.
They’ve all put time and effort into writing their stories and building their audience.
Now it’s all gone.
They not only lost their voice, but they lost a piece of themselves that they put out there.
Some of you might think, ‘Well, there must have been a reason.’ Maybe. Maybe not. The thing is, we just don’t know. And that’s what makes all of this so frustrating.
