Dutch Controversial Scientist Disappears from ‘X’ Platform Amid Outrage Over Account Targeting
In a surprising turn of events, renowned Dutch seismologist Frank Hogerbeets, known for his controversial theories and earthquake predictions, has decided to vanish from the ‘X’ platform. This decision comes in the wake of mounting frustration and anger, not just from ordinary users, but also from influencers like Hogerbeets himself.

Hogerbeets, a seismic expert from the Netherlands, took to Twitter on Sunday to express his profound dismay and anger at the consistent targeting of his accounts on the ‘X’ platform since the devastating earthquake in Turkey in February of the past year.
Since that earthquake, which Hogerbeets had predicted and sparked widespread controversy, his accounts have been under relentless scrutiny, to the extent that it severely disrupted his timeline. The seismologist has resolved to cease using the platform for the time being, directing those interested in the latest earthquake updates to follow him on YouTube, Facebook, and Telegram.

Hogerbeets and his Planetary Alignments Institute had anticipated some seismic activity in the recent past, causing panic among the public. This was especially true after his predictions came true several times, with earthquakes occurring weeks after his warnings, most notably the destructive earthquake that struck Turkey on February 6th.
However, it’s worth noting that many experts and studies have previously emphasized the impossibility of accurately predicting the date of earthquakes, despite the ability to determine their locations based on the geological history of regions and their position on tectonic plates worldwide.
Critics have also denounced Hogerbeets’ theories, rejecting the idea that planetary movements and their alignment have any significant correlation with seismic activity.

| Dutch seismologist | Frank Hogerbeets |
| Platform’s policies | Caused outrage among users, including Hogerbeets. |
| Twitter announcement | Expressing frustration and anger at continuous account targeting. |
| Targeted since Turkey earthquake | Disruption of the timeline due to persistent community feedback. |
| Ceasing platform use | Recommends following updates on YouTube, Facebook, and Telegram. |
| Seismic activities predictions | Some forecasts by Hogerbeets were realized, including the Turkey earthquake. |
| Earthquake prediction challenges | Experts acknowledge the difficulty in predicting exact dates and magnitudes but emphasize location predictability. |
| Controversial theories of Hogerbeets | Planetary alignment’s correlation with seismic activity questioned by many scientists. |
In this complex and controversial landscape of earthquake prediction, Hogerbeets’ decision to step away from the ‘X’ platform is a striking development, further fueling the debate over the influence of celestial bodies on Earth’s geological behavior.
