Irish Examiner columnist and author Séamas O’Reilly has been banned from social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, but claims he does not know why.

The popular commentator said that he suspects the ban is linked with his column which he said made “reference to the fact that Twitter/X may be considered complicit in the deluge of bots and scams on their platform given that it materially benefits from their activities".
