Why Is Your Twitter Account Banned?
Your Twitter account can be banned due to numerous reasons—violating community guidance rules above all. Here are the most common examples of Twitter rules violations that will get you banned from the platform:
- Infringing on someone’s authenticity
- Jeopardizing someone’s safety
- Violating someone’s privacy
Note that Twitter may also temporarily suspend or lock your account under the suspicion that somebody is trying to hack it. In that case, you can expect your account to be restored as soon as Twitter eliminates the threat.
Banned on Twitter—Authenticity Violations
Sending other users spam mail to attract their attention or trying to initiate unwanted contact will get your Twitter account banned. The same is true if you try to manipulate the platform for your personal gain.
Here are some concrete examples of authenticity violations on Twitter
- Creating and operating multiple accounts to create fake engagement or boost the popularity of specific tweets
- Posting misleading content and sending messages that are disrupting other user’s experience
- Impersonating other people by using stolen photos or bios
- Using misleading profile information (such as fake location)
- Performing copyright and trademark violation
Banned Twitter Account—Endangering the Safety of Other Users
Abusive behavior that can cause your account to get suspended on Twitter includes:
- Sending threats to other users
- Promoting any sort of violence
- Promoting terrorism and hate crimes
- Sharing child pornography, nudity, and other forms of exploitation
- Promoting self-harm or suicide
- Posting and sharing any type of adult content
If you engage in such behavior, Twitter will put a temporary ban on your account. Using your account for harmful behavior even after warnings and a temporary ban will lead to getting your account permanently banned.
Suspended Account on Twitter—Privacy Violations
Twitter is unforgiving of users who are endangering other users’ privacy. Twitter will ban your account if you:
- Share private information about someone without their consent
- Threaten someone that you’ll expose personal information about them
- Offer a reward in exchange for someone’s personal information
- Share someone’s intimate photographs and videos without their consent
Third-Party Advertising
Twitter has strict rules about third-party advertising in videos and images. To avoid suspension, you should not upload, share, or post any type of visual content that includes a third-party advertisement.
Types of Twitter Suspensions
Before Twitter decides to ban your account for good, it may enforce different types of suspensions to warn you. The severity of suspension typically depends on the severity and number of your offenses. Here are the types of suspensions you might have to face:
