Twitter is a familiar social media platform, especially for young people, alongside Facebook and Instagram. Similar to other social media platforms, Twitter (X) has its own rules and terms to maintain a civilized community, and unintentional violations can lead to immediate account suspension.
So in which cases does a Twitter account get suspended? Is there a way to restore a suspended account? FPT Shop will answer these questions in this article!
Reasons for Twitter account suspension
Twitter account suspension or being suspended is the most severe punishment imposed by Twitter for users who violate the platform’s rules and regulations. Violations may include:
- Impersonating someone else on Twitter.
- Engaging in spam activities on Twitter such as excessive following/unfollowing of users, posting advertising comments on multiple posts, etc.
- Posting content with violence, obscenity, or using provocative, discriminatory language, etc.
So can a suspended Twitter account be restored? Usually, once a Twitter account has been suspended for serious violations of the rules and regulations, it is difficult for the user to recover it. However, if this is a mistake made by the Twitter moderation team and you feel the punishment is not appropriate, you can file an appeal to request for account reinstatement.

What to do if you cannot restore a suspended Twitter account?
