LeVar Burton needs our help. The former host of classic educational series and childhood TV staple Reading Rainbow is trying to acquire the Twitter handle @ReadingRainbow. However his efforts have come to no avail. The name’s been bogarted by an unknown party and left to rot for over three years.
This aggression will not stand! Let @Twitter know support @LevarBurton’s efforts and that you demand @ReadingRainbow’s owner at least come forward. Maybe also let Twitter know what you think of its name-squatting enforcement efforts as well.
