Twitter: users with suspended accounts will be able to appeal

Starting February 1, 2023, it will be possible for Twitter users to appeal the suspension of their account. As a reminder, the new rules enacted by Elon Musk, following his takeover of the microblogging platform, provide for a suspension as a sanction in the event of serious and/or repeated violations of the T&Cs. Among them are the publication of illegal content, the incitement or threat of violence and physical or moral harm, targeted and organized harassment, etc. The reinstatement of suspended accounts will henceforth be subject to compliance with these new rules.

At the same time, we learn that Twitter has declared that in the future less severe measures could be taken in intermediate cases. The example of limiting the scope of tweets that violate the general conditions of use was mentioned, as well as an unblocking of accounts subject to the deletion of problematic tweets.

These details come after the multi-billionaire suspended – then reinstated – American journalists who had published public information concerning the movements of his private plane, or his decision to reactivate Donald Trump’s account, blocked after the assault on the Capitol. by his supporters.
