Were their tweets protected (i.e. only visible to approved followers) when you posted that link, or is that in response to this event?

Level3 was qquired/merged/changed to century link a year or so back, I think they closed their old twitter account then

When someone says level3, read century link. L3 have been a major player for decades though (including providing the infamous 4.2.2.2 dns server), so people still refer to them as level3.

The account to follow for them now is https://mobile.twitter.com/CenturyLink but it won’t tell you much.

Note that L3 is a separate company from Level 3 Communications, which was the ISP that was acquired by CenturyLink. L3 is an American aerospace and C4ISR contractor.

CenturyLink's current CEO, Jeff Storey, was actually the pre-acquisition Level 3 CEO.
