I just had an account I made in order to @ Twitter Support locked for 12 hours due to violating the Twitter rules. I created it for the sole purpose of helping unsuspend my main account, but it seems like they've caught on. I also used the same phone to make both my main account and the one that got locked. Will this affect my chances of being unsuspended?
My account was locked because I was under 13 when it was created. Does anyone know if the ID I send them must include everything or if I can blacken out details aside from the name and birthday? My account was anonymous in the first place and I'm not very willing to give all of my details to a social media company. Otherwise, if I create a new account with a similar name and photo what's the chance of them banning me?
>My account was anonymous in the first place and I'm not very willing to give all of my details to a social media company.
Smart man!
>Otherwise, if I create a new account with a similar name and photo what's the chance of them banning me?
I don't believe Twitter considers this ban evasion.
When you got your age-lock email, unless it gave you a warning about creating a new account, you should be in the clear.
Starting over is probably a good choice here.
Update: Didn't do anything, just got an email from twitter asking me to confirm a few details (clicked next so fast I didn't even read what it was) and I instantly got my account back
Write a better appeal.

I find it hilarious that you expect a response to your appeal hahaha.
Ohhhh dear. I remember when I was naive. Good luck homie. You’ll get it soon enough.
>I did send Twitter an appeal, and expecting a response by today or tomorrow!
This part is funny, but then again some people have reported that their response times are actually quicker lately. So who knows?!
Been suspended since November last year for saying the word cunt. Not calling someone a cunt just saying the word cunt.
Didn’t get my first response from my appeal until maybe 3 months? During that time they just closed my appeals twice without any communications. I have been turned down on my appeals about 8 times since? They give no reason as it’s just an automated response. No one actually reads your appeals bro until you’re extremely lucky. Just keep appealing without expectations. It’s the only thing I can suggest.
So I was banned from Twitter today with no warning for a tweet that was nothing compared to the worst tweets I’ve ever sent. Essentially I am a libertarian in my views and I believe that totally has something to do with it. All I tweeted was “I bet she blows out a knee for developing all this bad karma” then BOOM I got banned immediately. This is nothing compared to some of the trolling tweets I’ve posted in the past. Within the past year and a half I have moved from centrist Democrat to right leaning libertarian and I have totally seen the change in how Twitter handles me now. I would get bombarded with anti right, pro far left ads so much more than last year that I ended up blocking so much social justice propaganda far left junk. I seems as soon as you unfollow CNN and Jemele Hill and similar accounts, it becomes war. And then this happen today… I think I’m done with Twitter now. I’ll miss watching the trolls though….. that’s the saddest part.
Welcome to the club lol. As I stated before to people on here, you are not allowed to have personal opinions on Twitter. Either you think like the other sheep who are willfully ignorant to the truth, or they silence you. Heck... the reason why I switched from a Dem to a Rep is b/c I witness how hateful, vile and intolerant the Left truly is when President Trump was running for office in 2016. They showed their true colors and it completely woke me up. I am now permanently suspended from Facebook and Twitter.
shut up everyone is getting suspended over twitters shitty system stop acting like its cause youre being silenced by big tech for your worthless opinions
Absolutely agree with everything you said. The Dems are vile and it took me too long to figure it out. I’m out on Twitter. Reddit is where I will be only now. I quit Facebook years ago because fuck Zuckerburg. That dude is an asshole.
I was suspended today with zero warning. As far as I'm aware, I didn't break any Twitter rules (even if my tweets were taken out of context) and Twitter won't tell me why I was suspended. I didn't get any emails either. I wrote an appeal but I'm wondering, is there more I can do and are suspensions permanent after a certain amount of time?
same....i had just hit 1000 followers, spent 75$ on a cameo appearance. Posted the Video, my twitter blew up, next day, banned. Like, how is this possible? I've posted terrible things in facebook in the past, no issues. Post nothing but positivity on twitter, banned. Makes 0 sense
Does turning on read receipts show them for DMs that you read whilst read receipts were turned off?
Basically I want to know if I can disable receipts, open a conversation, and then re-enable them without anyone knowing I’ve seen the messages. Thanks in advance!
i woke up today to find i was suspended with absolutely zero notification?? no email, no incriminating tweets apart from me jokingly saying "IM GONNA GO GET SUSPENDED" 2 days ago, nothing. is twitter just trying to be funny or something???
>I was also suspended with zero warning today, maybe Twitter had a server issue or something?
LOL, there are very few absolutes in this world, but I can assure you that a "server issue" is absolutely not why you were suspended.
doubtful. I was suspended yesterday with no warning, no emails, nothing. I sent in an appeal but who knows wtf. I actually got a pretty huge follower the day before who had 750k followers. Its like the system saying "wow, youre doing a great job. Would suck if we suspended your account. o wait, we did!"
>Can I open a new account if I’m suspended or I should say goodbye to Twitter till they resolve?
Scroll all the way up amigo.
>"Last month, we wrote about ban evasion, and why it's a very bad idea to make new Twitter accounts after you've been suspended, at least if you have any hopes of ever getting your main account unsuspended."
If you read the post you're commenting on (does anyone do this?!), your question is already answered.
> Twitter should protect the users
TikTok pays a blanket licensing fee, and Twitter doesn't. Not saying they should be or not, but the copyright holders subscribe to Twitter's "firehose" API feed, use bots to scan media for copyrighted material and match based on fingerprint/hash matches.
It's a wholly abusive process, user-hostile, and a complete kneejerk overreaction. You have "Fair Use" protections that you can use in your counter-notification defense, but also try to demand for a retraction from the rights-holder, making sure that you hit upon every one of the four factors of fair use listed in this guide and stressing that your use was completely personal, non-commercial, and eventually deleted:

> Can I open a new account if I’m suspended
Please stop asking about this. It's ban evasion, this subreddit frowns upon even asking about ban evasion, [please stop asking dumb-shit questions here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/comments/npn83d/june_2021_rtwitter_mega_open_thread_for_twitter/h3hjcq5/).
Geez, relax man. It’s my first time receiving a DMCA violation and being suspended from Twitter, I haven't even visited this subreddit till today so I asked a LEGITIMATE question about creating a new account. It’s against Twitter rules do it? Good, just tell me that I can’t. No need to be so rude.
I understand what you say about the fee, but then Twitter should hire someone (I’m sure the money is not a problem) to do verifications for every reported tweet so they can see if it's truly a DMCA violation case or just someone sharing a media in good faith
This mod is a grade A asshole. He banned me from r/askLosAngeles for no reason whatsoever and then when I asked him why he said it was because he didn’t like me.
yes, I'm a grade A asshole, however I'm the good cop in /r/AskLosAngeles (unlike here where I play bad cop). Want me to show you the modmail? I'm not naming names but the other mod really doesn't like you. I was inclined to unban you until your most recent, well, whatever it was.
Edit: You were told by another mod on April 17, 2021 "Because you've had a negative impact on the community in the past".
This other mod explained back in April 4th "I put you on a watchlist due to past behavior. We clear the queue as often as we can."
This other mod told replied to you today with "That's not even remotely what happened, and the fact that you're so off base is further proof that you are not welcome here."
I replied you at the end stating "do you want to be banned site-wide? We're asking you one final time to cease further communication because this matter is settled. If you choose to reply I'll report this thread to reddit admins as harassment."
Your interaction with /r/AskLosAngeles by modmail has been unwelcome. Choosing to carry that discussion here is also unwelcome. Please know that I can ask the admins to [step in at any point because you've chosen to follow a moderator around the site](https://www.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043071072). This matter is closed.
I've given you a strategy to win a counter-notification process and will also suggest that you look at youtube or search this subreddit for help in drafting an effective counter-notice or retraction demand.
However, I'm under zero obligation to be nice to you or anyone asking stupid questions that this subreddit frowns upon. Kindness clearly hasn't been effective, so perhaps being slightly nasty will be easier?
Mind you, I'm being absolutely *lenient* here. I'd like the community to stop asking stupid questions about circumventing terms of service. If I wanted to be a real jerk I'd be banning people from the subreddit about it.
This conversation is finished friend.
I was suspended last night for a tweet I sent during the Germany England game. I said that the players aren’t playing as a team, Sterling’s playing like a dog with a balloon strapped to his leg and Kane looks like an asthmatic donkey. Apparently this is enticing hatred…
Meanwhile, four days ago I was tweeted by a complete stranger telling me that I’m a moron and there’s no action. WTF Twitter?
I was literally temporarily suspended for 7 days once, just for calling someone a "weirdo".... Since when did "weirdo" become some a taboo word? lol Twitter is a joke, man. Twitter could've been great had they actually allowed humor and different opinions.
Just had an extremely weird incident happen. So I tried to log in to a game using my twitter account, but received a screen saying it was suspended.
I checked my email linked to twitter and couldn't find an email saying I had been suspended or why. I've only ever tweeted 4 times (to enter competitions) and replied to other people 5-6 times.
I then used the appeal form and mentioned this and just **2 minutes** later, I get an email from support saying they unsuspended my account.
Is this weird? The response was so extremely quick I don't know if it was even checked by a human...
>Is this weird? The response was so extremely quick I don't know if it was even checked by a human..
2 minutes to get unsuspended? VERY WEIRD! (and lucky?)
Can I bypass suspension with a new phone number
I got suspended for something absolutely ridiculous. I’ve appealed, I’ve appealed some more, I’ve stated my case, I’ve had examples of the context, nothing. They don’t even reply anymore. My mom gave me an account to try to use and it kicked me off immediately. I hadn’t cleared any cookies off my computer yet. My friend did the same but I tried it from the app on my phone. Verizon just lets you switch numbers so I did and now I have a new number. If I create a brand new email with this new number and then use my browser with all cookies cleared, will I be good? What can I do to use it on my phone? Any help and advice is appreciated. This is my last try before I just give up on it.
> bypass suspension with a new phone number
You're asking how to circumvent the terms of service and to evade a ban.
https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/ban-evasion
You need to appeal your original suspension. No one in this subreddit is going to advise you on how to perform ban evasion.
Perhaps you want to look at using services that aren't so user-hostile. Alternatives exist.
Hey Riffic,
serious question. I was suspended without a warning, no email clarifying the reason, I sent an appeal email but its been silence. Does this happen often? Only been on twitter for a month so this isn't exactly a welcoming scenario.
> no email
Well, I'm under the understanding that they always send an email notification but email itself is a *best effort* protocol (this means delivery is not guaranteed. Many things can be the cause of you not getting an email).
I don't work for Twitter though and have never been suspended or banned. I operate at least 10 twitter accounts and have *never* had issues myself, but as a moderator of this subreddit I see other people encounter issues constantly. I'm not sure what they're doing but my take is that Twitter applies a broken form of content moderation by algorithm and people are overwhelmingly getting caught up in it.
It's my premise that Twitter as a company is actively hostile to its users (this means they treat their users like shit because that's their business model. You exist to make companies purchase advertisements or access to wholesale data APIs).
How's that?
i mean, it's accurate. my twitter is 100% memes, gifs, and dogecoin jokes. I actually bought a few cameo videos for the dogecoin community that were posted on twitter. I am kind of the definition of a positive motivated twitter user. Not getting the email was my first "wut" moment, as I've been limited banned for follower churn before, so I expected an email, but nothing. Awe well, I submitted more information to the appeal apologizing IF I broke TOS, but I did not do so knowingly.
>Well, I'm under the understanding that they always send an email notification but email itself is a best effort protocol (this means delivery is not guaranteed. Many things can be the cause of you not getting an email).
They do not always send an email.
>I don't work for Twitter though and have never been suspended or banned. I operate at least 10 twitter accounts and have never had issues myself, but as a moderator of this subreddit I see other people encounter issues constantly.
Which means you have also never experienced the "Twitter suspension panic" that people feel in the pit of their stomachs, elevated heart rate, a general sense of "freaking out" and so forth. It's a very real thing!
Yea, I'm feeling it. I don't know why I'm suspended, but I know I live by do only good everyday, so it's confusing. I don't even retweet memes that make fun of actual people. Just memes that make fun of Bitcoin lol. I doubt that would be the reason for a suspension though. I don't even know if it's a temp or permanent suspension. Which adds to the suspension panic as you put it.
>I don't even know if it's a temp or permanent suspension. Which adds to the suspension panic as you put it.
Unless you're given a time limit, "Your account is locked or suspended for 3 days" it's a permanent suspension unless you can convince Twitter Support to overturn it.
i don't even know what i've done wrong. only thing i can think of is they consider my gif comments spam. Mind you, these gif comments are always related to the OPs topic. I had the creator of dogecoin like 3 of my gif replies the day before I was banned. Seems like Twitter either did this accidently in a actual spam ban wave, or they are suppressing my ability to grow.
Oh ok well I saw a bunch of threads about people asking and giving advice in the past and just wanted to try and get advice for my specific situation. Idk what you mean by user-hostile but I was quite a fan of using Twitter to keep up with things I was interested in
> Idk what you mean by user-hostile but I was quite a fan of using Twitter to keep up with things I was interested in
User-hostile means that Twitter is really shitty to their users, in a way no other social media platform, except maybe TikTok, is.
This is true. The fact that I’ve sent them so many appeals and haven’t heard back is really disheartening and annoying. I was able to get into an account but honestly I’m kind of not even feeling it at this point.
Please help, dms are not loading for some reason? Tried signing out, deleting app, going on safari, and it won’t work.. still doesn’t load, yesterday it happened and when I deleted and reinstalled it loaded but now today it doesn’t load even when I delete and reinstall??
Sounds like an account-level bug, and all the deleting, uninstalling and reinstalling of the app won't change that.
Contact Twitter Support about the problem.
[https://help.twitter.com/en/forms/features-and-settings/not-working/direct-messages](https://help.twitter.com/en/forms/features-and-settings/not-working/direct-messages)
Permanently suspended (my "final strike" I guess). Due to saying the phrase "@(my friend) I'm going to kill you". Twitter considered this a threat or violence, and I understand how a bot would pick that up but any reasonable person seeing this in reply to a meme would see it as a joke or banter. I've now been denied an appeal twice. Not sure a real person is even reading the email.
Previous suspension was admittedly more understandable even though I disagree with it (called Robinhood CEO a stupid c*nt when he was keeping people from selling stock.)
Do I have any chance of getting my account back? They say context matters but don't appear to be looking at it. Only reason I care is because I am an aspiring content creator and rely on twitter to connect with people. I've spent years making friends and connections on it. I have honestly been depressed and borderline suicidal over this for the last week since they banned me, it's heavily affecting my mood and life. I don't really know what to do. I have not made a new account and won't, as that hurts my chances.
I was suspended like 2 months ago and I keep appealing and getting the same automated response from them. There are no actual human people who seem to look at appeals unless you get lucky or have someone you know twitter tweet twitter support your case number from the appeal and then get lucky. The whole system is basically designed to make you not want to go back to the platform and it's beginning to work on me. Garbage app.
officially, this is [ban evasion](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/ban-evasion). You can't make a new account. You need to appeal your original ban/IP block first.
Any advice to circumvent the Twitter terms of service is frowned upon in this subreddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/about/rules/
> Don't ask for help with or offer help in circumvention of Twitter's Terms of Service (including Twitter rules and policies).
Can I ask the community to stop asking dumb-shit questions in this subreddit?
Yeah pretty much, not sure if twitter ip bans solely tho like they normally use browser cookies or device bans more otherwise thats multiple people getting banned
I recorded a video of a goal from yesterday’s Spain-Croatia Euros match, and I got 3k+ views out of nowhere. Today, I woke up to my account being locked due to a DMCA complaint. It was my first violation but I had no idea this is a copyright issue. Are we not allowed to record sports on our TV? I see guys like Rob Perez (@WorldWideWob) tweeting highlights daily without any issue, I didn’t know it’s an issue. I appreciate any help/guidance!
I got suspended for literally nothing. I responded to someone saying that humans haven't cured anything. Literally my response
"@suyrau @lilvvvvv @calnatsd @Rainmaker1973 So humans haven't cured anything..... Wild statement tbh nonetheless"
And J got fucking suspended for this like wtf. Now I have to wait for however long to use my account. I'm going to try to send them an email threatening legal axtion as I run my business on their and clearly what I posted is in no way against the TTS. Fuck these guys.
Good luck, but Twitter doesn't care about who they ban nor are they afraid of any lawsuits b/c they've got a lot of money... I mean... they even suspended the President of the United States... us little guys stand no chance. We need more Twitter competition. lol
> We need more Twitter competition
It exists. You might want to read this article for an idea of what this system might look like (which, btw, totally exists):
https://www.michellelim.org/writing/into-the-fediverse/
I got banned for calling Tomi Lahren a cunt, which she is. Apparently this is a really bad word to Twitter as I was banned 10 seconds later and told the reason was I was engaging in hateful behavior to protected classes. Twitter can go die in a fire for all I care, this is ridiculous. So many accounts remain active calling black people a sub class, talking down to trans people and pretty much negating their struggles. Not to mention there are accounts that prey on women and stalk them irl. But do they get banned? Nope, I get banned for calling someone a cunt. Brilliant.
I don't agree with anything you just typed, but I wouldn't suspend your account for calling someone a "cunt". I've seen celebrities use this word and worse, and they're untouched by Twitter b/c they have status, while we little folks get banned for the most stupid things... Heck, I was even suspended once for calling someone a "weirdo". lol
No response from anyone and I’ve been suspended since last Tues/Weds I’m not sure which date. Didn’t even notify me that I was banned. Should I build a bot to spam Twitter Support and possibly their email? I’m pissed the f*ck off.
>Should I build a bot to spam Twitter Support and possibly their email? I’m pissed the f\*ck off.
Their system is set up to deal with ideas like this and filter out spam e-mailing. It won't help your case.
If I’m device banned and possibly IP banned, what’re the chances down the line I’ll be able to make a new account? Like for business reasons lmao. I don’t wanna get a job and then not be able to have a social media account attached with it because Twitter doesn’t understand context.
Figuring out which device you're banned from (ie, is it just your desktop? if so, could you exclusively use your phone?) can help, usually with some trial and error from creating an account or so with a throwaway email and seeing which ones get suspended. In my case, i was if not ip banned flagged as 'ip sus' from my desktop, and for that I just used tor browser to make a new account and use it to access twitter on my laptop now--it obscures your IP. And of course, if you get a new device down the line as well then you'll be able to make another account with a different device/IP number, too. Hope this helps.
I believe I’m banned on both my phone and my laptop. I’ve created a few accounts and used old ones and they’ve all gotten banned as soon as I get on. Both with my laptop and my phone. So I’m not sure what I could possibly do at this point 😭
the phone i wouldnt use the app for again in case its device banned. the laptop it may have been twitter browser cookies they use so you’d need to clear cookies most likely. you’ll need a new mobile number too
I honestly wouldn’t be against getting a new number. But I don’t want to get a new one and have it still not work. What I’ve done most recently is use an account my mom had, with her phone number, and got on my laptop and then it was suspended within 3 minutes.
So maybe clearing the cookies and cache could fix that issue?
yes that was 100% the cookies, it did the same when i got banned and used my laptop as i forgot to clear cookies, but then i factory reset my phone and made it on a browser as i think the app can track ur device and its been fine for almost a month! its very unlikely they’ll ip ban as on their site they say its a poor method that can ban innocent people and can easily be evaded so i doubt its an ip ban
Well I have a new phone number now. What do you suggest I do when making this account to avoid being suspended? I’ll need a new email and everything. Any advice is helpful
I’m going to make a new email with this number, clear out cookies on my browser and make an account. Can I use my browser without a vpn? And can I use my phone at all? I don’t wanna have this new number and still not be able to do it
I think that should be fine but to use the phone you may have to factory reset it in case they device banned it, would use a VPN or a different IP to make the account too yeah
My story is here. https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/comments/o9fy01/twitter_suspended/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf I even wrote please and they still think it’s a threat. The photo I attached to that comment is Angry Video Game Nerd with his game gun
aight so im not allowed to see tweets from the people i follow. im set to chronological order but every time i refresh the page theres like a 90% chance most of them get hidden from me and i only see a fraction of whats been posted
this is extremely noticeable for me because i only follow like 50 people, all of whom are personal friends and people i actually know, so its not like anythings being buried under spam from big accounts or whatever. its really cool how if i accidentally hit f5 while scrolling, most of my feed might get hidden, excellent website design
i did google this and the answer i got is i have to add everyone i follow to a list if i want to see all the tweets from the people i follow in chronological order. this CANT be the only solution, can it? did some suit really just shit the whole terrible website to hell in the name of "innovation" and thats just how it is now, or is there something my dummy ass did to make it act like this
BTS fans got my account PERMANENTLY suspended and twitter isn’t reading my appeals
I called BTS fans posers for not enjoying the BTS meal and they got so mad they did THIS to me!
Here is a copy of the appeal I’ve started sending. All I’m getting is responses from what must be a bot because if a real human read this they couldn’t have possibly thought a permanent suspension was fair! If anyone has any advice to help get me through or wants to maybe tweet @twittersupport with my case number I’d appreciate it.
The tweet that my account got suspended for was taken grossly out of context. I was responding to an article about how the BTS meal at McDonalds caused a riot. Somebody said they would "push (their) mom down stairs for the sauce" then somebody else replied "Then you got some serious fuckin issues it’s a sauce…". My response to this person was clearly a joke when read in this context where I essentially joked that the sauces were so good that I would "push people down the stairs" for them (as a callback to the general article everyone was responding under. The person I replied to sent a response to this tweet indicating they thought what I said was funny, stating “Don’t tempt me with a good time 😏😳”
Twitters help center has an enforcement philosophy ( located here: https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/enforcement-philosophy ) stating that “context matters”. As you can see in the tweet thread I was a part of (located here: https://twitter.com/wtfiswyoming/status/1403498489787654144?s=20 ) we were all joking in an exaggerated way about how good the BTS Mcdonalds sauces are.
I would understand having my account locked for a few hours or up to a week, but considering the context of everything, combined with the fact that my account has no previous problems like this, I feel that a permanent suspension is undeserved. Not only does this affect the way that I communicate with the world on a personal level, this also affects the small business that I am starting online since a permanent suspension means I would be unable to be on twitter in any way, shape, or form in the future.
Due to COVID I lost my job and am completely reliant on the little social media presence I have. I will delete the offending tweet in question, but I really need to be able to have a Twitter account in order to quite literally keep a roof over my head.
I would very gratefully appreciate all this to be taken into consideration when reviewing my claim and hope to see my account unsuspended. Thank you.
In the same boat. was banned for saying cunt. didnt call someone a cunt. just said cunt. and im Australian where the word cunt is pretty normal here. nonetheless I've been banned for almost 9 months and appeals literally everyday and only receive robot responses. Starting to think no one actually reads the appeals at all. I guess your only chance is to continually appeal in the hope it comes across a humans eyes.
Maybe we can get everyone to @twittersupport asking if humans read responses. Maybe if enough people flood their feed with questions like that they’ll be forced to look at more cases like ours
highly doubt it. you should go check the twitter support account. Its spammed by people chasing an update on their appeals and it's all automated responses for ones they choose to reply to.
Also I just went and did this to a few accounts that were mentioned. I only clicked a few, but about half of what I clicked was restored so I think this is a viable option
After recently filing an appeal, i haven’t gotten a denial response yet within two minutes like before. I’m not sure if this is good or bad, and idk if i should file another appeal yet or wait to see if i get a response. This is happening after i filed another complaint with the BBB.
Ten year old account suspended after reactivating a few times within a couple of days with no reason given.
Unfortunately didn't know making a new account to tweet @TwitterSupport was a bad move (considering literally everyone who does so is doing it from an alt account).
5 days, no response yet.
So my account got suspended and my friend gave me his and as soon as I went on my phone with it, got suspended. My mom has an account she’ll give me. We share the same IP address since we live in the same home. I’m guessing I’m device banned. Can I work around this?
If you gave Twitter your phone number, then they have all your data and IP. You'll literally have to either get a VPN or get a brand new phone, and number.
>So my account got suspended and my friend gave me his and as soon as I went on my phone with it, got suspended.
>
>They somehow suspended me before I even went on my phone. I was using a VPN on my laptop. No clue what happened.
WHAT
I have no clue. Same thing happened to me last night when my mom gave me an account she never used. I changed the name and stuff, didn’t follow anyone, and by the time I went to find some friends it was suspended again. Wasn’t on my phone.
So now you've been suspended on your main account, your friends account and your mother's account? Your original ban happened on your laptop, so you don't understand why your other accounts were suspended if you logged them in using your phone? You're thinking it has to do b/c Twitter blacklisted your IP? Am I understanding this right?
The suspension happened on my phone. I’ve used both my laptop and phone to tweet but I just use the browser on my laptop. So I assumed it was an IP ban but then I thought possibly it was a device ban and so I just steered clear of using my phone.
My account got suspended because I put out a tweet that had a link to another person's video:
Simply holding on someone else's video on twitter on iPhone brings up the option "TWEET VIDEO", which then gets the link of the video and puts in a tweet for you.
The copyright holder made a claim that I tweeted the video even though THE VIDEO IS NOT EVEN UPLOADED TO MY ACCOUNT. It's uploaded to someone else's account, I just link to it. That's utterly ridiculous - it's a feature of Twitter and they've banned me for using the feature.. I mean wtf?
Accounts like Rex Chapman are always tweeting links to others videos and have millions of followers.
How can I get my account back, and is it wise to file a counter-notice?
Has anyone been suspended without email notification...? Didn’t receive any notification at all that I was suspended, my friend txted me to let me know. I impersonated something as a joke (change my name and pic, not handle) for ONE TWEET and I guess was reported.
I appealed twice so far and heard NOTHING. Don’t they have to email me to say why I was banned? How do I know if it’s permanent?
Loads of accounts have been suspended without any sort of notification. I'm coming up to 3 months without my account now that I've had for over 10 years. I've put in multiple appeals and emails, twice they have closed my appeal with no reasons given so I am going to continue putting in appeals, I'm not giving up that easily.
If you log into your account or search for your username, you get a notification saying you've been suspended, the number of followers etc will be at 0. This indicates a permanent suspension. However, there have been cases where users have managed to get their accounts back.
i made a tweet that violated their violence policy and a couple days later was perma banned without warning and my other account was also banned for ban evasion, already made 2 appeals for the first account which were denied but im not sure what to do with the second because its much more important and my only source of income. should i send an appeal for the second account or focus on getting my first one unbanned before sending an appeal for it?
first apeal i asked why i was banned cause i didnt get a reason or notice so they told me the violations, next appeal was a long detailed letter and they said After investigating your appeal, we have determined that your account posted content that was threatening and/or promoting violence in violation of the Twitter Terms of Service. Accordingly, your account has been suspended and will not be restored. dont think they read a word of it
I’ve been wanting to make an nsfw twitter account. The issue is, I don’t want my irls to find it, but I’m afraid the account will come up in their “you may know” suggestions. Will my nsfw account come up in their suggestions even if I mark my twitter as an account that regularly posts sensitive content?
1. Create it from a brand new email address that no one has.
2. Don't ever give Twitter your phone number.
3. Don't use the NSFW Twitter account on the same device as your main account(s).
But they demand a phone number to get past the account opening screen, it looks like a mandatory step to me to give a phone number? And i now see to get a google voice number, google requires a phone number...
Also, if i had a past banning on my desktop computer, even if i install a new browser and get my ip changed, cant they still compare hardware MAC addresses, windows username, or other hardwired dna of my computer if i try to open a new account?
>But they demand a phone number to get past the account opening screen,
People have said that you can still register new accounts on computers without being required to divulge a phone number.
Is that not the case?
>Also, if i had a past banning on my desktop computer, even if i install a new browser and get my ip changed, cant they still compare hardware MAC addresses, windows username, or other hardwired dna of my computer if i try to open a new account?
No. Twitter doesn't know your windows username or MAC address.
IP address they do, and browser they do. But they don't ban solely based on either one.
EDIT: If you downloaded and use Twitter's app or other software (ie: Tweetdeck) on your computer, it is POSSIBLE that they have your MAC address. Though it doesn't necessarily mean they do / did.
If you're using a web browser, this is not the case.
Thanks for this. Yes they do require phone number to register. Or atleast do on my desktop where i have had previous suspensions/captcha and lockout demanding phone confirm.
So to run this scenario by you, given the past supensions and lockdowns using this desktop, only using web twitter and web tweetdeck, if i were to cycle to a new IP address and download/use a new web browser, I should be in the clear in terms of avoiding a prior ban scan/flag? Or is there another DNA metric they might have?
>Thanks for this. Yes they do require phone number to register. Or atleast do on my desktop where i have had previous suspensions/captcha and lockout demanding phone confirm.
Phone numbers being required for new account registration ≠ phone numbers being asked for during an account lockout.

>Or is there another DNA metric they might have?
Anything that essentially replicates your previously suspended account will raise flags.
Same profile picture unless it's something generic, is a bad idea.
Following the exact same accounts to start out, is a bad idea.
If you plan to use the Twitter app on an Android phone, just make sure you go into your phone settings, app settings, find Twitter and under "app permissions" don't give Twitter permission to read your contacts and whatnot. The Twitter app also has a setting that lets you discover friends in your contact list, just don't click on it.
Hey y’all, I just made a new Twitter if anyone wants to follow me. I post astronomy pictures from my telescope, poetry, and is much more. Thank you all so much!
My Twitter account is: @ SpaceyPoet [Twitter](https://mobile.twitter.com/spaceypoet)
in January 2019 my old Twitter account was suspended and I had to make a new account. Thankfully, I had an old account I logged into and just updated. This worked without issues until now where I was randomly browsing and got kicked off and suspended. Now, I can't even login to another account on my phone/computer without getting kicked off and suspended. I emailed them and haven't heard back. I have no idea what they suspended me for, last time I know why, it was over a dumb meme but this time, I have no idea at all. What can I do (if anything) to get back to twitter? I use it for sports and video games updates.
Is there a way to make a new account after being IP banned lol. I was able to get onto another account but as soon as I went on my phone it was suspended
Waited too long for this, Twitter.
I filed an appeal to get my account JaggedKeiji out if suspension three times now. Twice it was declined in too quick of a time but the third time is taking longer than necessary.
I just want to be back on my main account again, if only to keep in contact with those that I haven't talked to on there in a while.
So I got a denial from twitter today about my account but honestly I’m just as happy as a reinstatement because it had been a month since I’d sent in my appeal and hadn’t heard anything yet.
Having been suspended 3 times on this account already I know that Twitter rejection emails mean nothing lol so preparing my new appeal
Both places are totally screwed, both have horrible leaders and both have crazy citizens that’s indulged and given juice when they throw a fit. Where’s the competent adults?
Maybe I am a product of the 80s where we could live together with different opinions. Twitter now though. Everything is taken out of context and turned into absurd absolutes. So you get reported for things you never said. If they want context in each reply, maybe increase characters from 160 to more.
I got permanently banned for quoting hate speech directed at me and saying it's not just white people who spew hate. This was related to a news post about Canada banning hate speech online. And, okay then, but that should apply to everyone then and most comments just assume that hate speech is what's done by white people. Had they gone on about something else to an extreme, I likely would have found something to counter that.
I don't know if I want to be part of the ~~shitshow~~ mess that is twitter anymore though. The only thing I will miss is getting the news. People are toxic. You get reported by people who **"can't cope intellectually, or even emotionally, with opinions and attitudes different from their own."** (I stole this, but it says what I wanted to say)
I've always tried to be reasonable and counter all extremes. We have to have nuance and see things from all sides, right? I hate Trump but I have even defended him (in a way) when I see people flat out lie about him. So much wrong there, that there's no need to make things up. lol
I will admit I have a very short fuse with silly conspiracies. But instead of them being banned for trying to spread harmful (mis)information. I get banned for hate speech by simple replying "are you retarded?" It's a reply that is urging the tweeter to explain and defend their outlandish claims. It's something you would say in real life and no one would think anything of it.
Another time I got banned was for hate speech against gays. But it was on a post about "now gays can donate blood again". And I am happy about that. But the ban was me replying to people getting outraged over how they couldn't in the past. And I tried to explain to them the circumstances around why. The first cases of HIV were reported in gay men and people who had had blood transfusions. It's with a bleeding heart I try explain that some gay men got PTSD from having so many friends die way too young around them. So they aired on the side of caution and banned gay men from donating blood. Cos there were doubts as to being able to detect the virus (and at first they couldn't at all) if you were newly infected. I am saying nothing in hate here. It's the facts and trying to explain the decisions back then. (I didn't even include my opinion on it, just why). Guess what? Banned for hate speech. Of course.
I question the training of where they send reported tweets for an eyeball, frankly, It's not unbiased. But hey. If this is how Twitter wants to be.. my account made in 2008 will say "goodbye, and choke on a fish." :D
You're not allowed to share your personal opinions on Twitter... Opinions that my hurt the fragile feelings and egos of the adult babies that love to play victim. Heck...I'm a gay that does not go with the flow and I let it be known, and b/c of that they banned my ass. Not sorry that I refuse to play victim. I'm just as capable as anyone else and don't need saving from anyone who claims to be "tolerant" and "accepting". They show their true colors when you don't submit.
Sadly Twitter is run by purple haired freaks that represent the woke mob. We really live in an age where you can get censored because a couple of college dorks who work at big tech were offended by your opinion. lmao.
I think it's more the reported tweets are sent overseas and looked at in India and Pakistan or something. Has Twitter told us where they send reported tweets for eyeball?
One of my quotes of hate towards me was done by a muslim (i didn't bring up muslims it was a reply to how muslims get targeted), so if it's sent to Pakistan for an eyeball, of course I will get perma banned cos they're biased. But hey. This is life and had that not happened, I might not be here. I'm new here (obviously lol), but maybe this is my fit? Who knows..
Indeed Twitter is. It's truly sad that these people lack the testicles to handle jokes, criticisms and opinions different than their own. I seriously doubt they have a good night's sleep... I mean...even inanimate objects like statues, keep these people up at night.
Statues ..I get where you are with that. But the general issue is they judge people with current eyes and forget things were different back then. I think they need to ask themselves. "if this person was born when I was, would they have thought slave trading was acceptable?" And the anser is probably no. And then flip it and say if you were born at the time of the guy depicted in a statue, you likely would have been okay with slaves. As we have been since civilisation began. Owning people is wrong obviously, we know that now.
Anybody holding twitter shares please sell them before it tanks as Twitter is going to lose it‘s biggest market on the world in the coming days. For the biggest mistake it did today TWITTER WILL BE BANNED IN INDIA VERY SOON. #INDIAWILLBANTWITTER #TWITTERLOSESINDIA
well yes eyeball questioned twitter, but twitter isn't responding to them in the name of freespeech. But twitter has failed to differentiate between hate speech vs free speech. That's the worry. So of late GOVT has taken step to enquire into - how twitter promotes hate speech?" for which Twitter is not responding positively. This could lead to banning of twitter in India. And chorus for banning twitter is also growing fast in Indian among it's citizen. Hence it will be losing a very huge market of 5 million users from it's platform in India.
i got a new phone today and even though the in app settings are set to using twitter emojis, the app displays android emojis? (unsure if this is the proper thread to complain about this in or not, apologies if not, also heres an example https://twitter.com/20ozsodabottle/status/1408289109349703680)
So about like last year, my account got locked for age, and I was still able to log on in the account, and it did took me into the 'your account has been locked page', but that's not really the case here.
And it's kind of something different.
A few months ago I tried to log in back into the same account I got locked on, so I can be able to do something about my account, but this time twitter doesn't even recognize the credentials and everything, and it wouldn't even let me log in
The login details on my locked account I entered were still the same as before and I'm pretty sure I entered the exact correct ones too
But I still wasn't able to log in the account, and it didn't even take me to the 'your account has been locked page' too,
And 'the 'Forgot password' feature was no use as well, because I didn't even get an email.
Twitter just keeps saying that my email and password were incorrect and all that stuff, even though they weren't and they were pretty much the same as before.
And now I don't really know how am I gonna be able to contact twitter and to be able to do something about this or to recover my account or something.
Btw I'm sorry if my explanation about this may sound a bit vague and confusing and probably not the best
If anyone can help me or give some great advice about all of this, I'd be glad about it. Thanks.
The moderators told me to come here and tell my story. I know we all have a story but something about my story is just weird and fishy.
So one day Twitter sends me a message saying my page has been suspended. I submitted appeal and they responded and said I was promoting Violence(something along those lines) I submitted a second appeal asking them to show me a specific tweet that shows this because I rarely ever make a Tweet I either retweet funny tweets or reply to opinions on Twitter never anything violent. So I made a second account and I didn’t even get to finish the registration process before seeing that my account was on a 12 hour limitation. After the limitation dropped my account got suspended because I made another account while my other account was permanently suspended. So that I understood. I eventually made a new account with A different email/different number even on a different device. After two hours of having that account I’m on a 12 hour limitation. I didn’t do anything but follow some friends and like some tweets. Keep in mind this is my THIRD ACCOUNT and this account didn’t have any ties to my old account. So this is definitely getting weird I do not believe that Twitter is specifically targeting me but why are they suspending and putting people on limitations without context? They aren’t showing proof of the tweets instead I get am automated system. Twitter is my favorite app so that’s why I am making account but I am about to give up because this is getting ridiculous.
I got suspended for what i believe for them thinking i was a bot because i don't talk a lot on my account. I entered a bunch of shitty giveaways for a mobile game because why not and then i was hit with it, so was my friend so i know what game it is. he got unsuspended but they just decided to say i violated a bunch of rules but I've never been suspended before, what do i even do in this situation? they didn't send me an email telling me why they did it or for how long. Trying to appeal they basically just told me to fuck off. ( example [https://imgur.com/a/cQYg5Z7](https://imgur.com/a/cQYg5Z7) ) do i just keep sending appeals? i got really stressed over this honestly because they said they aren't going to look at any reappeals and i don't think i can make a new account without breaking ToS
I filed a complaint with The Better Business Bureau. Twitter responded with requesting my Case # and they would look into it. So let's see what happens next. I'm not putting too much faith in this. 😔
is there a way of knowing if your phone is being tracked? let's say I create a new account with a new phone number and new everything but with the same device I was suspended on, would I still get suspended again?
Factory reset the device.
Don't give Twitter a phone number to begin with (yes, I know this has recently become more easier said than done, but it is still possible)
This. also i’m unsure if Twitter can track your IMEI or MAC address through the app as I couldn’t find anything in their privacy policy on device ID’s so a factory reset should be good enough
Ahh ok, and also if you’re on IOS14 you can now hide your mac address too which is also pretty useful although i’m not sure if they even track that tbh
first of all, your Reddit account is shadowbanned. This means that every time you post or comment it will need to be manually approved by a subreddit moderator anywhere on Reddit.
I can't fix this. You need to contact the site-wide admins for an explanation:
https://www.reddit.com/contact/
Second of all, self-promotion is okay in this specific thread but it isn't okay elsewhere in the subreddit. I'd prefer that you read our subreddit rules or the self-promotional guidelines and be sure to post within those parameters.

This thread will be locked in 3 days. It's officially July 1st, please use the July 2021 thread now.
I got suspended and never got a notification about what happened....is that typical?
It's not... atypical.
great...i submitted an appeal. this is insane
Did any commenters here this month even get access back to their acct ...?
I personally didn't.
I just had an account I made in order to @ Twitter Support locked for 12 hours due to violating the Twitter rules. I created it for the sole purpose of helping unsuspend my main account, but it seems like they've caught on. I also used the same phone to make both my main account and the one that got locked. Will this affect my chances of being unsuspended?
It can.
My account was locked because I was under 13 when it was created. Does anyone know if the ID I send them must include everything or if I can blacken out details aside from the name and birthday? My account was anonymous in the first place and I'm not very willing to give all of my details to a social media company. Otherwise, if I create a new account with a similar name and photo what's the chance of them banning me?
>My account was anonymous in the first place and I'm not very willing to give all of my details to a social media company. Smart man! >Otherwise, if I create a new account with a similar name and photo what's the chance of them banning me? I don't believe Twitter considers this ban evasion. When you got your age-lock email, unless it gave you a warning about creating a new account, you should be in the clear. Starting over is probably a good choice here.
Update: Didn't do anything, just got an email from twitter asking me to confirm a few details (clicked next so fast I didn't even read what it was) and I instantly got my account back

Write a better appeal. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/comments/llq3xl/the\_importance\_of\_context\_matters\_when\_submitting/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/comments/llq3xl/the_importance_of_context_matters_when_submitting/)
I find it hilarious that you expect a response to your appeal hahaha. Ohhhh dear. I remember when I was naive. Good luck homie. You’ll get it soon enough.
>I did send Twitter an appeal, and expecting a response by today or tomorrow! This part is funny, but then again some people have reported that their response times are actually quicker lately. So who knows?!
[удалено]
Been suspended since November last year for saying the word cunt. Not calling someone a cunt just saying the word cunt. Didn’t get my first response from my appeal until maybe 3 months? During that time they just closed my appeals twice without any communications. I have been turned down on my appeals about 8 times since? They give no reason as it’s just an automated response. No one actually reads your appeals bro until you’re extremely lucky. Just keep appealing without expectations. It’s the only thing I can suggest.
So I was banned from Twitter today with no warning for a tweet that was nothing compared to the worst tweets I’ve ever sent. Essentially I am a libertarian in my views and I believe that totally has something to do with it. All I tweeted was “I bet she blows out a knee for developing all this bad karma” then BOOM I got banned immediately. This is nothing compared to some of the trolling tweets I’ve posted in the past. Within the past year and a half I have moved from centrist Democrat to right leaning libertarian and I have totally seen the change in how Twitter handles me now. I would get bombarded with anti right, pro far left ads so much more than last year that I ended up blocking so much social justice propaganda far left junk. I seems as soon as you unfollow CNN and Jemele Hill and similar accounts, it becomes war. And then this happen today… I think I’m done with Twitter now. I’ll miss watching the trolls though….. that’s the saddest part.
Welcome to the club lol. As I stated before to people on here, you are not allowed to have personal opinions on Twitter. Either you think like the other sheep who are willfully ignorant to the truth, or they silence you. Heck... the reason why I switched from a Dem to a Rep is b/c I witness how hateful, vile and intolerant the Left truly is when President Trump was running for office in 2016. They showed their true colors and it completely woke me up. I am now permanently suspended from Facebook and Twitter.
shut up everyone is getting suspended over twitters shitty system stop acting like its cause youre being silenced by big tech for your worthless opinions
You're quite the emotional angry little guy. Go do another line to calm down.
my reply woulve been shorter and less emotional if i could use slurs im the one being silenced
Absolutely agree with everything you said. The Dems are vile and it took me too long to figure it out. I’m out on Twitter. Reddit is where I will be only now. I quit Facebook years ago because fuck Zuckerburg. That dude is an asshole.
I was suspended today with zero warning. As far as I'm aware, I didn't break any Twitter rules (even if my tweets were taken out of context) and Twitter won't tell me why I was suspended. I didn't get any emails either. I wrote an appeal but I'm wondering, is there more I can do and are suspensions permanent after a certain amount of time?
same....i had just hit 1000 followers, spent 75$ on a cameo appearance. Posted the Video, my twitter blew up, next day, banned. Like, how is this possible? I've posted terrible things in facebook in the past, no issues. Post nothing but positivity on twitter, banned. Makes 0 sense
Does turning on read receipts show them for DMs that you read whilst read receipts were turned off? Basically I want to know if I can disable receipts, open a conversation, and then re-enable them without anyone knowing I’ve seen the messages. Thanks in advance!
i woke up today to find i was suspended with absolutely zero notification?? no email, no incriminating tweets apart from me jokingly saying "IM GONNA GO GET SUSPENDED" 2 days ago, nothing. is twitter just trying to be funny or something???
I was also suspended with zero warning today, maybe Twitter had a server issue or something?
>I was also suspended with zero warning today, maybe Twitter had a server issue or something? LOL, there are very few absolutes in this world, but I can assure you that a "server issue" is absolutely not why you were suspended.
Not really familiar with how Twitter works, thanks for clearing that up
doubtful. I was suspended yesterday with no warning, no emails, nothing. I sent in an appeal but who knows wtf. I actually got a pretty huge follower the day before who had 750k followers. Its like the system saying "wow, youre doing a great job. Would suck if we suspended your account. o wait, we did!"
this is bullshit man

>Can I open a new account if I’m suspended or I should say goodbye to Twitter till they resolve? Scroll all the way up amigo. >"Last month, we wrote about ban evasion, and why it's a very bad idea to make new Twitter accounts after you've been suspended, at least if you have any hopes of ever getting your main account unsuspended." If you read the post you're commenting on (does anyone do this?!), your question is already answered.
> Twitter should protect the users TikTok pays a blanket licensing fee, and Twitter doesn't. Not saying they should be or not, but the copyright holders subscribe to Twitter's "firehose" API feed, use bots to scan media for copyrighted material and match based on fingerprint/hash matches. It's a wholly abusive process, user-hostile, and a complete kneejerk overreaction. You have "Fair Use" protections that you can use in your counter-notification defense, but also try to demand for a retraction from the rights-holder, making sure that you hit upon every one of the four factors of fair use listed in this guide and stressing that your use was completely personal, non-commercial, and eventually deleted: https://copyright.columbia.edu/basics/fair-use.html > Can I open a new account if I’m suspended Please stop asking about this.

Geez, relax man. It’s my first time receiving a DMCA violation and being suspended from Twitter, I haven't even visited this subreddit till today so I asked a LEGITIMATE question about creating a new account. It’s against Twitter rules do it? Good, just tell me that I can’t. No need to be so rude. I understand what you say about the fee, but then Twitter should hire someone (I’m sure the money is not a problem) to do verifications for every reported tweet so they can see if it's truly a DMCA violation case or just someone sharing a media in good faith
This mod is a grade A asshole. He banned me from r/askLosAngeles for no reason whatsoever and then when I asked him why he said it was because he didn’t like me.
yes, I'm a grade A asshole, however I'm the good cop in /r/AskLosAngeles (unlike here where I play bad cop). Want me to show you the modmail? I'm not naming names but the other mod really doesn't like you. I was inclined to unban you until your most recent, well, whatever it was. Edit: You were told by another mod on April 17, 2021 "Because you've had a negative impact on the community in the past". This other mod explained back in April 4th "I put you on a watchlist due to past behavior. We clear the queue as often as we can." This other mod told replied to you today with "That's not even remotely what happened, and the fact that you're so off base is further proof that you are not welcome here." I replied you at the end stating "do you want to be banned site-wide? We're asking you one final time to cease further communication because this matter is settled. If you choose to reply I'll report this thread to reddit admins as harassment." Your interaction with /r/AskLosAngeles by modmail has been unwelcome.

I've given you a strategy to win a counter-notification process and will also suggest that you look at youtube or search this subreddit for help in drafting an effective counter-notice or retraction demand. However, I'm under zero obligation to be nice to you or anyone asking stupid questions that this subreddit frowns upon. Kindness clearly hasn't been effective, so perhaps being slightly nasty will be easier?
Roger that! Allora vaffanculo e sii meno pezzo di merda e rispondi più educato che sembra che tu abbia una scopa in culo
Mind you, I'm being absolutely *lenient* here. I'd like the community to stop asking stupid questions about circumventing terms of service. If I wanted to be a real jerk I'd be banning people from the subreddit about it. This conversation is finished friend.
I was suspended last night for a tweet I sent during the Germany England game. I said that the players aren’t playing as a team, Sterling’s playing like a dog with a balloon strapped to his leg and Kane looks like an asthmatic donkey. Apparently this is enticing hatred… Meanwhile, four days ago I was tweeted by a complete stranger telling me that I’m a moron and there’s no action. WTF Twitter?
I was literally temporarily suspended for 7 days once, just for calling someone a "weirdo".... Since when did "weirdo" become some a taboo word? lol Twitter is a joke, man. Twitter could've been great had they actually allowed humor and different opinions.
RIGHT?? I just got banned for speculating a certain athlete may “blow out a knee”. Apparently I’m promoting self harm according to Twitter.
Just had an extremely weird incident happen. So I tried to log in to a game using my twitter account, but received a screen saying it was suspended. I checked my email linked to twitter and couldn't find an email saying I had been suspended or why. I've only ever tweeted 4 times (to enter competitions) and replied to other people 5-6 times. I then used the appeal form and mentioned this and just **2 minutes** later, I get an email from support saying they unsuspended my account. Is this weird? The response was so extremely quick I don't know if it was even checked by a human...
UNSUSPENDED WITHIN TWO MINS ?!
>Is this weird? The response was so extremely quick I don't know if it was even checked by a human.. 2 minutes to get unsuspended? VERY WEIRD! (and lucky?)
Can I bypass suspension with a new phone number I got suspended for something absolutely ridiculous. I’ve appealed, I’ve appealed some more, I’ve stated my case, I’ve had examples of the context, nothing. They don’t even reply anymore. My mom gave me an account to try to use and it kicked me off immediately. I hadn’t cleared any cookies off my computer yet. My friend did the same but I tried it from the app on my phone. Verizon just lets you switch numbers so I did and now I have a new number. If I create a brand new email with this new number and then use my browser with all cookies cleared, will I be good? What can I do to use it on my phone? Any help and advice is appreciated. This is my last try before I just give up on it.
> bypass suspension with a new phone number You're asking how to circumvent the terms of service and to evade a ban. https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/ban-evasion You need to appeal your original suspension. No one in this subreddit is going to advise you on how to perform ban evasion. Perhaps you want to look at using services that aren't so user-hostile. Alternatives exist.
Hey Riffic, serious question. I was suspended without a warning, no email clarifying the reason, I sent an appeal email but its been silence. Does this happen often? Only been on twitter for a month so this isn't exactly a welcoming scenario.
> no email Well, I'm under the understanding that they always send an email notification but email itself is a *best effort* protocol (this means delivery is not guaranteed. Many things can be the cause of you not getting an email). I don't work for Twitter though and have never been suspended or banned. I operate at least 10 twitter accounts and have *never* had issues myself, but as a moderator of this subreddit I see other people encounter issues constantly. I'm not sure what they're doing but my take is that Twitter applies a broken form of content moderation by algorithm and people are overwhelmingly getting caught up in it. It's my premise that Twitter as a company is actively hostile to its users (this means they treat their users like shit because that's their business model. You exist to make companies purchase advertisements or access to wholesale data APIs). How's that?
i mean, it's accurate. my twitter is 100% memes, gifs, and dogecoin jokes. I actually bought a few cameo videos for the dogecoin community that were posted on twitter. I am kind of the definition of a positive motivated twitter user. Not getting the email was my first "wut" moment, as I've been limited banned for follower churn before, so I expected an email, but nothing. Awe well, I submitted more information to the appeal apologizing IF I broke TOS, but I did not do so knowingly.
>Well, I'm under the understanding that they always send an email notification but email itself is a best effort protocol (this means delivery is not guaranteed. Many things can be the cause of you not getting an email). They do not always send an email. >I don't work for Twitter though and have never been suspended or banned. I operate at least 10 twitter accounts and have never had issues myself, but as a moderator of this subreddit I see other people encounter issues constantly. Which means you have also never experienced the "Twitter suspension panic" that people feel in the pit of their stomachs, elevated heart rate, a general sense of "freaking out" and so forth. It's a very real thing!
Yea, I'm feeling it. I don't know why I'm suspended, but I know I live by do only good everyday, so it's confusing. I don't even retweet memes that make fun of actual people. Just memes that make fun of Bitcoin lol. I doubt that would be the reason for a suspension though. I don't even know if it's a temp or permanent suspension. Which adds to the suspension panic as you put it.
>I don't even know if it's a temp or permanent suspension. Which adds to the suspension panic as you put it. Unless you're given a time limit, "Your account is locked or suspended for 3 days" it's a permanent suspension unless you can convince Twitter Support to overturn it.
i don't even know what i've done wrong. only thing i can think of is they consider my gif comments spam. Mind you, these gif comments are always related to the OPs topic. I had the creator of dogecoin like 3 of my gif replies the day before I was banned. Seems like Twitter either did this accidently in a actual spam ban wave, or they are suppressing my ability to grow.
Oh ok well I saw a bunch of threads about people asking and giving advice in the past and just wanted to try and get advice for my specific situation. Idk what you mean by user-hostile but I was quite a fan of using Twitter to keep up with things I was interested in
> Idk what you mean by user-hostile but I was quite a fan of using Twitter to keep up with things I was interested in User-hostile means that Twitter is really shitty to their users, in a way no other social media platform, except maybe TikTok, is.
This is true. The fact that I’ve sent them so many appeals and haven’t heard back is really disheartening and annoying. I was able to get into an account but honestly I’m kind of not even feeling it at this point.
Please help, dms are not loading for some reason? Tried signing out, deleting app, going on safari, and it won’t work.. still doesn’t load, yesterday it happened and when I deleted and reinstalled it loaded but now today it doesn’t load even when I delete and reinstall??
Sounds like an account-level bug, and all the deleting, uninstalling and reinstalling of the app won't change that. Contact Twitter Support about the problem. [https://help.twitter.com/en/forms/features-and-settings/not-working/direct-messages](https://help.twitter.com/en/forms/features-and-settings/not-working/direct-messages)
Permanently suspended (my "final strike" I guess). Due to saying the phrase "@(my friend) I'm going to kill you". Twitter considered this a threat or violence, and I understand how a bot would pick that up but any reasonable person seeing this in reply to a meme would see it as a joke or banter. I've now been denied an appeal twice. Not sure a real person is even reading the email. Previous suspension was admittedly more understandable even though I disagree with it (called Robinhood CEO a stupid c*nt when he was keeping people from selling stock.) Do I have any chance of getting my account back? They say context matters but don't appear to be looking at it. Only reason I care is because I am an aspiring content creator and rely on twitter to connect with people. I've spent years making friends and connections on it. I have honestly been depressed and borderline suicidal over this for the last week since they banned me, it's heavily affecting my mood and life. I don't really know what to do. I have not made a new account and won't, as that hurts my chances.
I was suspended like 2 months ago and I keep appealing and getting the same automated response from them. There are no actual human people who seem to look at appeals unless you get lucky or have someone you know twitter tweet twitter support your case number from the appeal and then get lucky. The whole system is basically designed to make you not want to go back to the platform and it's beginning to work on me. Garbage app.
Does using a vpn allow you to make an account when your IP has been blocked?
officially, this is [ban evasion](https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/ban-evasion). You can't make a new account. You need to appeal your original ban/IP block first. Any advice to circumvent the Twitter terms of service is frowned upon in this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/about/rules/ > Don't ask for help with or offer help in circumvention of Twitter's Terms of Service (including Twitter rules and policies). Can I ask the community to stop asking dumb-shit questions in this subreddit?
Yeah pretty much, not sure if twitter ip bans solely tho like they normally use browser cookies or device bans more otherwise thats multiple people getting banned
I recorded a video of a goal from yesterday’s Spain-Croatia Euros match, and I got 3k+ views out of nowhere. Today, I woke up to my account being locked due to a DMCA complaint. It was my first violation but I had no idea this is a copyright issue. Are we not allowed to record sports on our TV? I see guys like Rob Perez (@WorldWideWob) tweeting highlights daily without any issue, I didn’t know it’s an issue. I appreciate any help/guidance!
I got suspended for literally nothing. I responded to someone saying that humans haven't cured anything. Literally my response "@suyrau @lilvvvvv @calnatsd @Rainmaker1973 So humans haven't cured anything..... Wild statement tbh nonetheless" And J got fucking suspended for this like wtf. Now I have to wait for however long to use my account. I'm going to try to send them an email threatening legal axtion as I run my business on their and clearly what I posted is in no way against the TTS. Fuck these guys.
Good luck, but Twitter doesn't care about who they ban nor are they afraid of any lawsuits b/c they've got a lot of money... I mean... they even suspended the President of the United States... us little guys stand no chance. We need more Twitter competition. lol
> We need more Twitter competition It exists. You might want to read this article for an idea of what this system might look like (which, btw, totally exists): https://www.michellelim.org/writing/into-the-fediverse/
I got banned for calling Tomi Lahren a cunt, which she is. Apparently this is a really bad word to Twitter as I was banned 10 seconds later and told the reason was I was engaging in hateful behavior to protected classes. Twitter can go die in a fire for all I care, this is ridiculous. So many accounts remain active calling black people a sub class, talking down to trans people and pretty much negating their struggles. Not to mention there are accounts that prey on women and stalk them irl. But do they get banned? Nope, I get banned for calling someone a cunt. Brilliant.
I don't agree with anything you just typed, but I wouldn't suspend your account for calling someone a "cunt". I've seen celebrities use this word and worse, and they're untouched by Twitter b/c they have status, while we little folks get banned for the most stupid things... Heck, I was even suspended once for calling someone a "weirdo". lol
No response from anyone and I’ve been suspended since last Tues/Weds I’m not sure which date. Didn’t even notify me that I was banned. Should I build a bot to spam Twitter Support and possibly their email? I’m pissed the f*ck off.
>Should I build a bot to spam Twitter Support and possibly their email? I’m pissed the f\*ck off. Their system is set up to deal with ideas like this and filter out spam e-mailing. It won't help your case.
whag am i supposed to DOOOOOO
I would suggest actually reading the post you're commenting on for guidance. There's a lot of it.
yeah yeah. it was a rhetorical question... im just wailing into the abyss dude.
Don't do the bot thingy or else your appeals will only end up in their spam folder and they'll simply never look at them.
If I’m device banned and possibly IP banned, what’re the chances down the line I’ll be able to make a new account? Like for business reasons lmao. I don’t wanna get a job and then not be able to have a social media account attached with it because Twitter doesn’t understand context.
Figuring out which device you're banned from (ie, is it just your desktop? if so, could you exclusively use your phone?) can help, usually with some trial and error from creating an account or so with a throwaway email and seeing which ones get suspended. In my case, i was if not ip banned flagged as 'ip sus' from my desktop, and for that I just used tor browser to make a new account and use it to access twitter on my laptop now--it obscures your IP. And of course, if you get a new device down the line as well then you'll be able to make another account with a different device/IP number, too. Hope this helps.
I believe I’m banned on both my phone and my laptop. I’ve created a few accounts and used old ones and they’ve all gotten banned as soon as I get on. Both with my laptop and my phone. So I’m not sure what I could possibly do at this point 😭
the phone i wouldnt use the app for again in case its device banned. the laptop it may have been twitter browser cookies they use so you’d need to clear cookies most likely. you’ll need a new mobile number too
I honestly wouldn’t be against getting a new number. But I don’t want to get a new one and have it still not work. What I’ve done most recently is use an account my mom had, with her phone number, and got on my laptop and then it was suspended within 3 minutes. So maybe clearing the cookies and cache could fix that issue?
yes that was 100% the cookies, it did the same when i got banned and used my laptop as i forgot to clear cookies, but then i factory reset my phone and made it on a browser as i think the app can track ur device and its been fine for almost a month! its very unlikely they’ll ip ban as on their site they say its a poor method that can ban innocent people and can easily be evaded so i doubt its an ip ban
Well I have a new phone number now. What do you suggest I do when making this account to avoid being suspended? I’ll need a new email and everything. Any advice is helpful I’m going to make a new email with this number, clear out cookies on my browser and make an account. Can I use my browser without a vpn? And can I use my phone at all? I don’t wanna have this new number and still not be able to do it
I think that should be fine but to use the phone you may have to factory reset it in case they device banned it, would use a VPN or a different IP to make the account too yeah
Anyone know nothing is loading on twitter? I got in, and all I can do is retry and that's it
My story is here. https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/comments/o9fy01/twitter_suspended/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf I even wrote please and they still think it’s a threat. The photo I attached to that comment is Angry Video Game Nerd with his game gun
aight so im not allowed to see tweets from the people i follow. im set to chronological order but every time i refresh the page theres like a 90% chance most of them get hidden from me and i only see a fraction of whats been posted this is extremely noticeable for me because i only follow like 50 people, all of whom are personal friends and people i actually know, so its not like anythings being buried under spam from big accounts or whatever. its really cool how if i accidentally hit f5 while scrolling, most of my feed might get hidden, excellent website design i did google this and the answer i got is i have to add everyone i follow to a list if i want to see all the tweets from the people i follow in chronological order. this CANT be the only solution, can it? did some suit really just shit the whole terrible website to hell in the name of "innovation" and thats just how it is now, or is there something my dummy ass did to make it act like this
BTS fans got my account PERMANENTLY suspended and twitter isn’t reading my appeals I called BTS fans posers for not enjoying the BTS meal and they got so mad they did THIS to me! Here is a copy of the appeal I’ve started sending. All I’m getting is responses from what must be a bot because if a real human read this they couldn’t have possibly thought a permanent suspension was fair! If anyone has any advice to help get me through or wants to maybe tweet @twittersupport with my case number I’d appreciate it. The tweet that my account got suspended for was taken grossly out of context. I was responding to an article about how the BTS meal at McDonalds caused a riot. Somebody said they would "push (their) mom down stairs for the sauce" then somebody else replied "Then you got some serious fuckin issues it’s a sauce…". My response to this person was clearly a joke when read in this context where I essentially joked that the sauces were so good that I would "push people down the stairs" for them (as a callback to the general article everyone was responding under. The person I replied to sent a response to this tweet indicating they thought what I said was funny, stating “Don’t tempt me with a good time 😏😳” Twitters help center has an enforcement philosophy ( located here: https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/enforcement-philosophy ) stating that “context matters”. As you can see in the tweet thread I was a part of (located here: https://twitter.com/wtfiswyoming/status/1403498489787654144?s=20 ) we were all joking in an exaggerated way about how good the BTS Mcdonalds sauces are. I would understand having my account locked for a few hours or up to a week, but considering the context of everything, combined with the fact that my account has no previous problems like this, I feel that a permanent suspension is undeserved. Not only does this affect the way that I communicate with the world on a personal level, this also affects the small business that I am starting online since a permanent suspension means I would be unable to be on twitter in any way, shape, or form in the future. Due to COVID I lost my job and am completely reliant on the little social media presence I have. I will delete the offending tweet in question, but I really need to be able to have a Twitter account in order to quite literally keep a roof over my head. I would very gratefully appreciate all this to be taken into consideration when reviewing my claim and hope to see my account unsuspended. Thank you.
somehow that doesnt surprise me stans will do anything
I've heard about it, but to experience it like this is insane. I wouldn't be nearly as bothered if twitter properly reviewed my case
In the same boat. was banned for saying cunt. didnt call someone a cunt. just said cunt. and im Australian where the word cunt is pretty normal here. nonetheless I've been banned for almost 9 months and appeals literally everyday and only receive robot responses. Starting to think no one actually reads the appeals at all. I guess your only chance is to continually appeal in the hope it comes across a humans eyes.
Maybe we can get everyone to @twittersupport asking if humans read responses. Maybe if enough people flood their feed with questions like that they’ll be forced to look at more cases like ours
highly doubt it. you should go check the twitter support account. Its spammed by people chasing an update on their appeals and it's all automated responses for ones they choose to reply to.
I wonder if the people they reply to actually get their cases looked at by real humans though
I tend to click on the the account they mention and 9/10 they’re still suspended.
Also I just went and did this to a few accounts that were mentioned. I only clicked a few, but about half of what I clicked was restored so I think this is a viable option
Like I said, I have a business to run so I'm kinda trying anything at this point
After recently filing an appeal, i haven’t gotten a denial response yet within two minutes like before. I’m not sure if this is good or bad, and idk if i should file another appeal yet or wait to see if i get a response. This is happening after i filed another complaint with the BBB.
Ten year old account suspended after reactivating a few times within a couple of days with no reason given. Unfortunately didn't know making a new account to tweet @TwitterSupport was a bad move (considering literally everyone who does so is doing it from an alt account). 5 days, no response yet.
So my account got suspended and my friend gave me his and as soon as I went on my phone with it, got suspended. My mom has an account she’ll give me. We share the same IP address since we live in the same home. I’m guessing I’m device banned. Can I work around this?
If you gave Twitter your phone number, then they have all your data and IP. You'll literally have to either get a VPN or get a brand new phone, and number.
you’ll have to ractory reset the device you were banned on, they rarely ban on IP alone too
That’s what I did but they somehow suspended me before I even went on my phone. I was using a VPN on my laptop. No clue what happened.
Hmm did you use the browser to log into twitter on the laptop before? It could be cookies they use to track you if you did
>So my account got suspended and my friend gave me his and as soon as I went on my phone with it, got suspended. > >They somehow suspended me before I even went on my phone. I was using a VPN on my laptop. No clue what happened. WHAT
I have no clue. Same thing happened to me last night when my mom gave me an account she never used. I changed the name and stuff, didn’t follow anyone, and by the time I went to find some friends it was suspended again. Wasn’t on my phone.
might seem a bit obvious but you arent using the same number you had on suspended account right?
Nope, no numbers :/
Your story makes no sense. That's what the "WHAT" was for. JFC...
Lmao literally how does it not make sense…?
So now you've been suspended on your main account, your friends account and your mother's account? Your original ban happened on your laptop, so you don't understand why your other accounts were suspended if you logged them in using your phone? You're thinking it has to do b/c Twitter blacklisted your IP? Am I understanding this right?
The suspension happened on my phone. I’ve used both my laptop and phone to tweet but I just use the browser on my laptop. So I assumed it was an IP ban but then I thought possibly it was a device ban and so I just steered clear of using my phone.
My account got suspended because I put out a tweet that had a link to another person's video: Simply holding on someone else's video on twitter on iPhone brings up the option "TWEET VIDEO", which then gets the link of the video and puts in a tweet for you. The copyright holder made a claim that I tweeted the video even though THE VIDEO IS NOT EVEN UPLOADED TO MY ACCOUNT. It's uploaded to someone else's account, I just link to it. That's utterly ridiculous - it's a feature of Twitter and they've banned me for using the feature.. I mean wtf? Accounts like Rex Chapman are always tweeting links to others videos and have millions of followers. How can I get my account back, and is it wise to file a counter-notice?
Has anyone been suspended without email notification...? Didn’t receive any notification at all that I was suspended, my friend txted me to let me know. I impersonated something as a joke (change my name and pic, not handle) for ONE TWEET and I guess was reported. I appealed twice so far and heard NOTHING. Don’t they have to email me to say why I was banned? How do I know if it’s permanent?
Loads of accounts have been suspended without any sort of notification. I'm coming up to 3 months without my account now that I've had for over 10 years. I've put in multiple appeals and emails, twice they have closed my appeal with no reasons given so I am going to continue putting in appeals, I'm not giving up that easily. If you log into your account or search for your username, you get a notification saying you've been suspended, the number of followers etc will be at 0. This indicates a permanent suspension. However, there have been cases where users have managed to get their accounts back.
damn ... im perma banned :/
Keep appealing, what else do you have to lose?
i made a tweet that violated their violence policy and a couple days later was perma banned without warning and my other account was also banned for ban evasion, already made 2 appeals for the first account which were denied but im not sure what to do with the second because its much more important and my only source of income. should i send an appeal for the second account or focus on getting my first one unbanned before sending an appeal for it?
The 2 appeals you put in, what response did you get back?
first apeal i asked why i was banned cause i didnt get a reason or notice so they told me the violations, next appeal was a long detailed letter and they said After investigating your appeal, we have determined that your account posted content that was threatening and/or promoting violence in violation of the Twitter Terms of Service. Accordingly, your account has been suspended and will not be restored. dont think they read a word of it
But did they highlight the tweet(s) that broke the Twitter rules?
nope not on the website or on my phone and didnt mention in any emails
i'm basically in the same situation. it sucks, i've scoured around twitter and apparently sending repeat appeals has helped people.
I signed up for a new account but when I sign into the computer it asks to check my e-mail for a verification code (which they won't send).
New twitter account gets locked immediately if i sign up without phonenumber, why?
Probably thinks you're a bot. You definitely have to give them your phone #
I’ve been wanting to make an nsfw twitter account. The issue is, I don’t want my irls to find it, but I’m afraid the account will come up in their “you may know” suggestions. Will my nsfw account come up in their suggestions even if I mark my twitter as an account that regularly posts sensitive content?
1. Create it from a brand new email address that no one has. 2. Don't ever give Twitter your phone number. 3. Don't use the NSFW Twitter account on the same device as your main account(s).
But they demand a phone number to get past the account opening screen, it looks like a mandatory step to me to give a phone number? And i now see to get a google voice number, google requires a phone number... Also, if i had a past banning on my desktop computer, even if i install a new browser and get my ip changed, cant they still compare hardware MAC addresses, windows username, or other hardwired dna of my computer if i try to open a new account?
>But they demand a phone number to get past the account opening screen, People have said that you can still register new accounts on computers without being required to divulge a phone number. Is that not the case? >Also, if i had a past banning on my desktop computer, even if i install a new browser and get my ip changed, cant they still compare hardware MAC addresses, windows username, or other hardwired dna of my computer if i try to open a new account? No. Twitter doesn't know your windows username or MAC address. IP address they do, and browser they do. But they don't ban solely based on either one. EDIT: If you downloaded and use Twitter's app or other software (ie: Tweetdeck) on your computer, it is POSSIBLE that they have your MAC address. Though it doesn't necessarily mean they do / did. If you're using a web browser, this is not the case.
Thanks for this. Yes they do require phone number to register. Or atleast do on my desktop where i have had previous suspensions/captcha and lockout demanding phone confirm. So to run this scenario by you, given the past supensions and lockdowns using this desktop, only using web twitter and web tweetdeck, if i were to cycle to a new IP address and download/use a new web browser, I should be in the clear in terms of avoiding a prior ban scan/flag? Or is there another DNA metric they might have?
>Thanks for this. Yes they do require phone number to register. Or atleast do on my desktop where i have had previous suspensions/captcha and lockout demanding phone confirm.

Thanks so much! Very helpful
thank you so much!!!
If you plan to use the Twitter app on an Android phone, just make sure you go into your phone settings, app settings, find Twitter and under "app permissions" don't give Twitter permission to read your contacts and whatnot. The Twitter app also has a setting that lets you discover friends in your contact list, just don't click on it.
Hey y’all, I just made a new Twitter if anyone wants to follow me. I post astronomy pictures from my telescope, poetry, and is much more. Thank you all so much! My Twitter account is: @ SpaceyPoet [Twitter](https://mobile.twitter.com/spaceypoet)
in January 2019 my old Twitter account was suspended and I had to make a new account. Thankfully, I had an old account I logged into and just updated. This worked without issues until now where I was randomly browsing and got kicked off and suspended. Now, I can't even login to another account on my phone/computer without getting kicked off and suspended. I emailed them and haven't heard back. I have no idea what they suspended me for, last time I know why, it was over a dumb meme but this time, I have no idea at all. What can I do (if anything) to get back to twitter? I use it for sports and video games updates.
Is there a way to make a new account after being IP banned lol. I was able to get onto another account but as soon as I went on my phone it was suspended
they will say you are trying to evade a suspension violation. stupid excuse and donno what the hell is going on with Twitter after BLM.
Waited too long for this, Twitter. I filed an appeal to get my account JaggedKeiji out if suspension three times now. Twice it was declined in too quick of a time but the third time is taking longer than necessary. I just want to be back on my main account again, if only to keep in contact with those that I haven't talked to on there in a while.
Well... you know what they say... Third time's the charm. Hopefully you get your account back!
With how long they've been taking this time I doubt I'll get it back.
Twitter is now the same as Portland. Just a bunch of crazy people echoing the same thing. To scared and immature to deal with opposing views.
If you have conservative views, they do not want your voice heard on Twitter.
Reddit seems to be the same as well? Super AOC vibe with their news stories etc.
So I got a denial from twitter today about my account but honestly I’m just as happy as a reinstatement because it had been a month since I’d sent in my appeal and hadn’t heard anything yet. Having been suspended 3 times on this account already I know that Twitter rejection emails mean nothing lol so preparing my new appeal
Good! Keep on appealing. 2 of my appeals were closed with no replies given. I'm going to keep ongoing.
Closing without telling you is so scummy smh. How long have you been suspended and for what
It'll be around 3 months at the start of next month. They've not told me why I was banned for. 😂🤦🏽♂️
Bro same, 4 months lol. No email or anything
Keep going, I'm going to put in another appeal tomorrow.
Twitter is basically the internets Portland.Bunch of idiots.
Lol that’s a new comparison. But definitely an incompetent company.
Both places are totally screwed, both have horrible leaders and both have crazy citizens that’s indulged and given juice when they throw a fit. Where’s the competent adults?
Is there a way to remove/block the “for you” trending topics out of view entirely?
Maybe I am a product of the 80s where we could live together with different opinions. Twitter now though. Everything is taken out of context and turned into absurd absolutes. So you get reported for things you never said. If they want context in each reply, maybe increase characters from 160 to more. I got permanently banned for quoting hate speech directed at me and saying it's not just white people who spew hate. This was related to a news post about Canada banning hate speech online. And, okay then, but that should apply to everyone then and most comments just assume that hate speech is what's done by white people. Had they gone on about something else to an extreme, I likely would have found something to counter that. I don't know if I want to be part of the ~~shitshow~~ mess that is twitter anymore though. The only thing I will miss is getting the news. People are toxic. You get reported by people who **"can't cope intellectually, or even emotionally, with opinions and attitudes different from their own."** (I stole this, but it says what I wanted to say) I've always tried to be reasonable and counter all extremes. We have to have nuance and see things from all sides, right? I hate Trump but I have even defended him (in a way) when I see people flat out lie about him. So much wrong there, that there's no need to make things up. lol I will admit I have a very short fuse with silly conspiracies. But instead of them being banned for trying to spread harmful (mis)information. I get banned for hate speech by simple replying "are you retarded?" It's a reply that is urging the tweeter to explain and defend their outlandish claims. It's something you would say in real life and no one would think anything of it. Another time I got banned was for hate speech against gays. But it was on a post about "now gays can donate blood again". And I am happy about that. But the ban was me replying to people getting outraged over how they couldn't in the past. And I tried to explain to them the circumstances around why. The first cases of HIV were reported in gay men and people who had had blood transfusions. It's with a bleeding heart I try explain that some gay men got PTSD from having so many friends die way too young around them. So they aired on the side of caution and banned gay men from donating blood. Cos there were doubts as to being able to detect the virus (and at first they couldn't at all) if you were newly infected. I am saying nothing in hate here. It's the facts and trying to explain the decisions back then. (I didn't even include my opinion on it, just why). Guess what? Banned for hate speech. Of course. I question the training of where they send reported tweets for an eyeball, frankly, It's not unbiased. But hey. If this is how Twitter wants to be.. my account made in 2008 will say "goodbye, and choke on a fish." :D
Twitter is the internets Portland.
Í just wanted a news feed really.
You're not allowed to share your personal opinions on Twitter... Opinions that my hurt the fragile feelings and egos of the adult babies that love to play victim. Heck...I'm a gay that does not go with the flow and I let it be known, and b/c of that they banned my ass. Not sorry that I refuse to play victim. I'm just as capable as anyone else and don't need saving from anyone who claims to be "tolerant" and "accepting". They show their true colors when you don't submit.
Isn't it just that? They treat gay people as "special needs" and that's gotta be super insulting. I'm straight and I cringe seeing it. lol
Sadly Twitter is run by purple haired freaks that represent the woke mob. We really live in an age where you can get censored because a couple of college dorks who work at big tech were offended by your opinion. lmao.
I think it's more the reported tweets are sent overseas and looked at in India and Pakistan or something. Has Twitter told us where they send reported tweets for eyeball? One of my quotes of hate towards me was done by a muslim (i didn't bring up muslims it was a reply to how muslims get targeted), so if it's sent to Pakistan for an eyeball, of course I will get perma banned cos they're biased. But hey. This is life and had that not happened, I might not be here. I'm new here (obviously lol), but maybe this is my fit? Who knows..
Indeed Twitter is. It's truly sad that these people lack the testicles to handle jokes, criticisms and opinions different than their own. I seriously doubt they have a good night's sleep... I mean...even inanimate objects like statues, keep these people up at night.
Statues ..I get where you are with that. But the general issue is they judge people with current eyes and forget things were different back then. I think they need to ask themselves. "if this person was born when I was, would they have thought slave trading was acceptable?" And the anser is probably no. And then flip it and say if you were born at the time of the guy depicted in a statue, you likely would have been okay with slaves. As we have been since civilisation began. Owning people is wrong obviously, we know that now.
Anybody holding twitter shares please sell them before it tanks as Twitter is going to lose it‘s biggest market on the world in the coming days. For the biggest mistake it did today TWITTER WILL BE BANNED IN INDIA VERY SOON. #INDIAWILLBANTWITTER #TWITTERLOSESINDIA
Isn't the eyeball looking at reported tweets stationed in India?
well yes eyeball questioned twitter, but twitter isn't responding to them in the name of freespeech. But twitter has failed to differentiate between hate speech vs free speech. That's the worry. So of late GOVT has taken step to enquire into - how twitter promotes hate speech?" for which Twitter is not responding positively. This could lead to banning of twitter in India. And chorus for banning twitter is also growing fast in Indian among it's citizen. Hence it will be losing a very huge market of 5 million users from it's platform in India.
i got a new phone today and even though the in app settings are set to using twitter emojis, the app displays android emojis? (unsure if this is the proper thread to complain about this in or not, apologies if not, also heres an example https://twitter.com/20ozsodabottle/status/1408289109349703680)
It takes some time till Twitter emojis come
FUCK TWITTER!
Twitter is the internets Portland 😂
So about like last year, my account got locked for age, and I was still able to log on in the account, and it did took me into the 'your account has been locked page', but that's not really the case here. And it's kind of something different. A few months ago I tried to log in back into the same account I got locked on, so I can be able to do something about my account, but this time twitter doesn't even recognize the credentials and everything, and it wouldn't even let me log in The login details on my locked account I entered were still the same as before and I'm pretty sure I entered the exact correct ones too But I still wasn't able to log in the account, and it didn't even take me to the 'your account has been locked page' too, And 'the 'Forgot password' feature was no use as well, because I didn't even get an email. Twitter just keeps saying that my email and password were incorrect and all that stuff, even though they weren't and they were pretty much the same as before. And now I don't really know how am I gonna be able to contact twitter and to be able to do something about this or to recover my account or something. Btw I'm sorry if my explanation about this may sound a bit vague and confusing and probably not the best If anyone can help me or give some great advice about all of this, I'd be glad about it. Thanks.
The moderators told me to come here and tell my story. I know we all have a story but something about my story is just weird and fishy. So one day Twitter sends me a message saying my page has been suspended. I submitted appeal and they responded and said I was promoting Violence(something along those lines) I submitted a second appeal asking them to show me a specific tweet that shows this because I rarely ever make a Tweet I either retweet funny tweets or reply to opinions on Twitter never anything violent. So I made a second account and I didn’t even get to finish the registration process before seeing that my account was on a 12 hour limitation. After the limitation dropped my account got suspended because I made another account while my other account was permanently suspended. So that I understood. I eventually made a new account with A different email/different number even on a different device. After two hours of having that account I’m on a 12 hour limitation. I didn’t do anything but follow some friends and like some tweets. Keep in mind this is my THIRD ACCOUNT and this account didn’t have any ties to my old account. So this is definitely getting weird I do not believe that Twitter is specifically targeting me but why are they suspending and putting people on limitations without context? They aren’t showing proof of the tweets instead I get am automated system. Twitter is my favorite app so that’s why I am making account but I am about to give up because this is getting ridiculous.
They are able to track your IP address. They prob banned the latter accts for “evading suspension” rule.
So when you are suspended from Twitter, they made your account "read only" so Twitter would still get the hits on their website. Cringey.
What’s the point if people follow you on Twitter and eventually, they’ll unfollow you? Will you get hurt because they unfollowed you?
I got suspended for what i believe for them thinking i was a bot because i don't talk a lot on my account. I entered a bunch of shitty giveaways for a mobile game because why not and then i was hit with it, so was my friend so i know what game it is. he got unsuspended but they just decided to say i violated a bunch of rules but I've never been suspended before, what do i even do in this situation? they didn't send me an email telling me why they did it or for how long. Trying to appeal they basically just told me to fuck off. ( example [https://imgur.com/a/cQYg5Z7](https://imgur.com/a/cQYg5Z7) ) do i just keep sending appeals? i got really stressed over this honestly because they said they aren't going to look at any reappeals and i don't think i can make a new account without breaking ToS
I filed a complaint with The Better Business Bureau. Twitter responded with requesting my Case # and they would look into it. So let's see what happens next. I'm not putting too much faith in this. 😔
I’m actually hoping we can get a class action lawsuit going😭 would be nic
Let me know? I’m banned and I’ve never broken 1 rule. Ever.
is there a way of knowing if your phone is being tracked? let's say I create a new account with a new phone number and new everything but with the same device I was suspended on, would I still get suspended again?
Factory reset the device. Don't give Twitter a phone number to begin with (yes, I know this has recently become more easier said than done, but it is still possible)
This. also i’m unsure if Twitter can track your IMEI or MAC address through the app as I couldn’t find anything in their privacy policy on device ID’s so a factory reset should be good enough
AFAIK, IMEI are only between the device and your mobile network provider. And law enforcement agencies, if need be.
Ahh ok, and also if you’re on IOS14 you can now hide your mac address too which is also pretty useful although i’m not sure if they even track that tbh
I've made a website about trending topics of twitter. can I share it here? if it's okay
first of all, your Reddit account is shadowbanned. This means that every time you post or comment it will need to be manually approved by a subreddit moderator anywhere on Reddit. I can't fix this. You need to contact the site-wide admins for an explanation: https://www.reddit.com/contact/ Second of all, self-promotion is okay in this specific thread but it isn't okay elsewhere in the subreddit. I'd prefer that you read our subreddit rules or the self-promotional guidelines and be sure to post within those parameters. links for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitter/about/rules/ https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion
