A headache for the Kinks on Twitter, all day and all of the night.
Nitish Pahwa: When did you first start to notice that your posts were getting flagged for sensitive content because of the band name?A few months ago, but it’s gotten more evident. Honestly, I don’t know enough about it, but it’s a bit strange. I did a bit of research and realized it’s a computer-generated pop-up mechanism that flags my emails or Twitter posts. And it’s a bit disconcerting, because it puts people off.
I’ve noticed it comes and goes. I’ve been traveling—I was in England recently, I’m in America now, and everywhere I go, Twitter’s still doing it. Not constantly, but every so often. I have no idea what sort of programming is afoot over there.No, nobody. I’m a big admirer of Elon Musk and his work. Maybe they’ve set a program into motion that they can’t sunset. I don’t know. They must be able to unravel it somehow.
It’s a great promotion tool, Twitter and all the platforms. To some extent, it’s really helpful to put our product and albums and films on there. You know how it goes.I don’t think so. At least, this is the first time it was flagged on something that could be major. We’ve been using this name for 60 years. That’s quite a long time. If you or your comrades can get to the bottom of it, I’d be grateful.If it’s happening to us, I’m sure it would happen to a lot of people with slightly devious names.
I’m a great admirer of his work, and he’s in a position where he can do great stuff for the world, improve conditions, and I’m full of admiration for what he’s trying to do—aside from this. It would be nice to promote our material and our catalog, which is vast, which goes back years. I don’t know—we’ve messaged him all that. Obviously, other people have had similar problems, but the thing is, it’s a part of ourheritage to be able to use art as a means to express how we feel.
