Twitter^[1] suspensions refer to the act of temporarily or permanently disabling a Twitter account due to the violation of the platform’s community guidelines or policies. Twitter’s suspension policies and practices have been the subject of controversy and debate, with critics arguing that the rules can be overreaching or manipulated. Notable instances of suspensions include high-profile individuals, parody accounts, and accounts linked to extremism and terrorism. The platform has faced backlash from global entities, such as the United Nations and the European Union, over its suspension decisions.

The impact of these suspensions extends beyond the individual account, influencing discussions on free speech, platform authenticity, and the balance between user safety and censorship.
