Twitter Suspension #0361571659

It is with great regret that my X (Twitter) account has been unfairly suspended permanently without valid reason nor in good faith. I am still awaiting a response from X to my appeal.

Upon reviewing X's Rules thoroughly, I could not identify any specific violation on my part. I do not engage in any activities that would violate X's Rules, including but not limited to using bots, posting spam, misinformation, piracy, violent or hateful comments or posts. I have also checked for any "unusual activity" or compromised access but none was found. While I do occasionally use a VPN for security reasons, I do not believe that this would trigger a suspension.

Resolved

I've been using this X account since 2018 primarily to connect with friends. Recently however, my account was suspended. I understand that my account was suspended due to alleged violations of X's Rules.

However, I am genuinely confused about which specific rule I may have violated. I do not engage in any activity that would violate X's Rules, such as using 3rd party bots, posting spam, misinformation, misuse of trends/hashtags, abusive/violent/hateful content or other illegal activities.

My main purpose on X involves communicating with friends through Direct Messages. Occasionally, I do share my YouTube videos, website or use the share feature of my gaming consoles for public posts. I am very mindful of not posting anything offensive or engaging in spam or engagement baiting. I understand the importance of a safe and positive place that keeps others safe from harm.

I always do my best to maintain a responsible and respectful online presence. I have never received any warnings or notifications prior to this suspension other than the initial label for "unusual activity". At the time, I checked for any "unusual activity" or compromised access but found none. I even removed an app access "Social Blade" as a precaution. Unfortunately, my account was suspended before I had the chance to remove all sessions and change my password.

Additionally, I reviewed X's Rules thoroughly multiple times but could not identify any specific violation on my part.

While I do sometimes use a VPN for security reasons, I don't believe this action would trigger a suspension. I understand its limitations and that it can look like "unusual activity" due to changing IP addresses and locations but I would never use it for any activity that violates X's Rules.

The only other recent activity that might be considered "unusual activity" is a screenshot of a language learning conversation with ChatGPT that I annotated for a friend. Since I couldn't transfer it directly from my PC, I uploaded it to X for quick and easy sharing. To my understanding, this does not violate any X rules. I understand that this may have been misinterpreted and I am happy to delete it if necessary and refrain from similar actions in the future.

I firmly believe that my account was suspended in error. However, if I have unknowingly violated any of X's Rules, I sincerely apologise and I am open to providing any further information or clarification that may be needed to resolve this issue.

@ Twitter Support

We're writing to let you know that we've unsuspended your account. Should you run into any trouble logging back in, try requesting a password reset email. It may take an hour or so for your follower and following numbers to return to normal.

Please note that your account was previously suspended for violating one or more of the X Rules, such as:

  1. Sending multiple unsolicited @replies or mentions.

  2. Posting multiple unrelated updates to a trending or popular topic.

  3. Aggressive and random repost and/or liking posts from other accounts.

  4. Misuse of X product features

    This includes any of the following:

    • "follow churn" – following and then unfollowing large numbers of accounts in an effort to inflate one's own follower count;

    • indiscriminate following – following and/or unfollowing a large number of unrelated accounts in a short time period, particularly by automated means; and

    • duplicating another account's followers, particularly using automation.

Please note that repeated violations of the X rules may result in suspension.

This case will now be closed and replies will not be monitored.
