A Funny Thing Happened To Me When I Tried To Post on Twitter Lastnight

Lastnight I tried to share a YouTube video on Twitter, but something a bit weird happened. The video was about a slightly dodgy electrical heating device made in China, and had the title "Chinese automatic house ignitor. (also available in pink)" and was made by a British Youtuber called Bigclivedotcom. Here it is below for your viewing pleasure: Unfortunately trying to share it to twitter via either the share button, or copy & pasting the title and url directly into twitter did not go smoothly. Doing it via the share button got me a red stripey message saying I'd already posted it (when it sure as hell hadn't). Copy & Pasting it gave me another red stripey message saying "something went wrong". I then altered the spelling of "Chinese" to "Ch*nese", and the thing went through no problem. I then tried to make a post below that to explain the change in spelling, complete with a screenshot, but that also "had issues" I screenshotted. Doing a fresh post with a follow-up screenshot of the original screenshot of the that post went through fine for some strange reason.

No reason to be paranoid, right? @tedcruz @realDonaldTrump @RealErinCruz @AP4Liberty @scrowder @glennbeck @JackPosobiec @GovMikeHuckabee @RitaPanahi @joelpollak @prageru @charliekirk11 @iheartmindy @RealJamesWoods #censorship pic.twitter.com/ckPLpc9u8P
