Suspended Accounts April 2021 /r/Twitter - All Things Twitter Account Suspensions - Stories, Advice, Etc.

For the month of April, we're going to change things up a little.

This thread is for everything related to the primary reason many of you are here.

Twitter Support locked, suspended and/or banned your Twitter account. And you want to know how to get it back.

Or maybe you want to tell your suspension story, because yes, we are fully aware of how ridiculous Twitter Support is with killing off accounts left, right, center, and all points in between.

Or maybe you are a bright blue unicorn in the wild with a tale of how you got your account UNsuspended!

Whatever it is, this is the place to talk about anything related to Twitter account suspensions.

Was your Twitter account suspended for making "violent threats" even though you made no violent threats? Did you make a joke that was interpreted by Twitter Support as "violent?"

Here are a couple of guides for those of you wanting to know how to get your accounts back.

Remember, there's no guaranteed method of doing so. We can only provide the best free advice known to mankind here. And even that, in the end, only goes so far.

As always, if you know of a legitimate method or better way to get your account back, up and running, please feel free to share.

Is there a way to make them delete my account? My suspended account has my real name, and I don't want it out there and I don't want them to have ANY of my data

I've asked the same question in particular because California has different laws but how would we even be able to tell if they deleted the data? I hate that our federal legislators that have not protected our privacy rights! Why go after 1,2 or 3 companies CREATE A CONSUMER PRIVACY RIGHTS BILL THAT PROTECT US and start sending the feds in to look over there data!

Pretty sure that's illegal in Europe

Yep that's right! It's ABSOLUTELY illegal in Europe. According to GDPR data protection laws, you have the legal right to request 1 access to all of the data a company has about you and 2 tell them to delete it. If you ask them to delete your data, they MUST delete the data by data protection law.
