This is an automated response to share reasons why Twitter suspends accounts for spam/abuse investigation. If you’re reporting spam, please report spam in the future by following @spam and sending us a direct message, or by blocking the spam accounts you come across, as we closely monitor blocked accounts.

You’ll know you’re suspended if you log in and see a red notice announcing your suspension on your account. Continue reading ‘Twitter Unfairly Suspended Me’
