Twitter suspended music and news publication The Fader’s account this morning, prompting an outpouring of confusion expressed with a #FREEFADER hashtag.
Three other popular music blogs — 2DOPEBOYZ, Hip Hop N More, and the Complex-owned Pigeons and Planes — have also been suspended. Many music news accounts tweeted footage from the BET Awards on Sunday and the NBA Awards last night, so it’s possible that BET or TNT complained about the use of copyrighted video. But in a video tweeted from Complex’s account, Pigeons and Planes writer John Walaszek said the suspension was because he “used a song in a meme” without approval from the owner.
