This is the first I’ve heard of it. We’ve reported on Instagram and FB trying to clamp down on trolling. But the scale here is huge, tweet said. More user Tweets accused Twitter claiming that their posts about an incident on the airline are being removed without notice and without them being aware of it.

According to one of the comments regarding of the incident, one tweet say, “Twitter is the best example of the suppression of free speech that we see on a daily basis. I am not suggesting that twitter is in any way subject to the first amendment, it is not, being a private company it has free reign over its content.

But the bigger problem is that its users are largely ok, with twitters censorship and suppression of free speech. twitter have been blocking/ deleting post and locking account of people who express the conservative view point for some time now. Twitter has become a platform for the extreme left and it removing any competing content.”

A tweet reply regarding Twitter being accused removing tweets from use profile.
“No, Twitter isn’t deleting Tweets. It’s user unfamiliarity with the Timeline change: Tweets and Tweets & Replies”

Last updated on | By | | 258 views

UPDATE: Thirty four Earthquakes hit Philippines in less than twenty four hours in different locations.

From magnitude 4.0 up to magnitude 6.0 registered seismic activity on PHILIPPINE INSTITUTE OF VOLCANOLOGY AND SEISMOLOGY (PHIVOLCS) Earthquake Intensity Scale report. Seven were moderately strong and one was considered strong.

At least twenty five seismic events had occurred in Mindanao – Earthquakes hit Philippines most cases were tectonic in origin, according to PHIVOLCS official website.

The tremors were felt in separate region, seven were considered moderately strong according to PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale. The agency operates and maintains a network of 93 seismic stations spread across the Philippines.

Magnitude 4.0, felt generally by people indoors and by some people outdoors. Light sleepers are awakened. Vibration was felt like a passing of heavy cargo truck. Up to 5.8 magnitudes registered scale, data posted on quake monitoring agency.

A strong earthquake with magnitude of 6.0 in which epicenter was located 07.71°N, 124.66°E - 013 km N 56° W of Wao Lanao Del Sur Strong, Mindanao Island, at 05:20:58 AM – the strong earthquake was felt by most people indoors and outdoors.

Tectonic source of large-magnitude earthquakes hit Philippines

Tremors were caused mostly by rupture of geological faults. The country has 1,200-km-long Philippine fault zone (PFZ) is a major tectonic feature that transects the whole Philippine archipelago from northwestern Luzon to southeastern Mindanao. Since 2003, Kyoto University and PHIVOLCS-DOST have been mapping the Philippine Fault.

At present, approximately 90% of on-land-stretch of the PFZ has been mapped. On-going studies are now being done in Guinayangan, Infanta and the rest of Eastern Mindanao while detailed investigation will be conducted in Leyte and Masbate Islands in the future.

The data from the seismic stations are used to determine the locations of earthquakes, as well as the characteristics of the earthquakes generated. We also have a volcano monitoring network in and around Taal that could record seismic activity. Earthquakes hit Philippines/ IMAGE
