Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply. I'm attaching a screenshot of instructions for how to automatically export the Twitter block list in seconds - instructions can be found here:

https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/advanced-twitter-block-options

By navigating to 'advanced settings' / 'export your list,' the process takes just seconds. I just simulated this and it took 10.08 seconds.

Given this information, is there another reason why this request would take 20 days?

Many thanks,
Lindsay

From: Cranston Mayor's Office

The City needs an additional 20 days to respond under the APRA due to the voluminous nature of the request.
