June/July 2020 - Twitter silently starts to remove bulk numbers of accounts - in use but not high-frequency accounts! The famous "...violate the Twitter rules" works for about anything. It's a private company that can do as they wish. Wonder if @Jack
agrees to that. The image on display originates from an account 10 years old with less as 500 tweets, They NEVER EVER violated any rules!! - https://twitter.com/brainstorm_solu/status/1285549374706089987

Remember 2007 when "they" courtetd us to come and use "Twttr" as it was initially called. Today: the provide a platform for the world biggest liar, help Russians to influence elections somewhere on this planet, spread porn all over, no react to reported violations of their platform. More or less the usual!
They make money now and we as users are just somewhat a burden....... They take care of their high-profile users (nothing wrong with that, they make money) however, giving simple users the boot is very lame @Jack!!

It did not disclose who they belonged to beyond saying one was owned by an elected official in the Netherlands. - https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-53510574

This report is a little older yet we believe it's as current today as it was time of publishing. There’s a suggestion that this might all be part of a ransom racket which has heavily damaged the accounts and public image of some users who won’t "pay up"…
And the ransom?… Yes, you’ve guessed. The cyber world’s perennial prize of prizes - the mobile phone number…
Well, let's ad the fact that ones has to cross the hoops of captcha which gives all our data (location, different pc and software specs, cookies in browser history) to Google. I just spend time to lean myself of with different search engine and email to use to be forced to use them again. Thanks @Jack

Sorry folks! Our Twitter account got AGAIN suspended, we quit counting - w.a.f.j!! They suspend accounts at free will justifying it with some lame-arse email about "violate the tos (terms of service)" while several accounts we now monitored got suspended without having any tweeting since the LAST suspension. Jack Dorsey: your platform stinks but most likely you will give a shit!
So far not a word from them concerning our appeal. It does not need much to develop a distaste after following - and admiring - for example Jack Dorsey, the boss of Twitter. It's funny how they can act and react within hours if there are issues with a high-profile use. We, the masses that brought Twitter up where they are now can go fuck off. As usual..... @TwiiterSupport is amongst the worst of social media platforms.

73% less - that is more as sufficient to justify that ban! According to research by Zignal Labs, which the Washington Post reported on Saturday, online misinformation about election fraud plunged 73 percent in the weeklong period following Twitter’s decision to ban Trump on January 8. https://www.vox.com/2021/1/16/22234971/trump-twitter-facebook-social-media-ban-election-misinformation-zignal
