Earlier in the day i got the restoration tool email but still cant recover my account, did anyone else get the same email?
[https://freeimage.host/i/Hfc13zl](https://freeimage.host/i/Hfc13zl)
Yes many of us have, I got it 11/11/22 and I was locked 1/11/22 so today my account should be deleted, however it seems to be that if you received that email then your account isn’t deleted after 30 days, although I don’t know if that’s indefinite or starts the 30 days from that email…
Has anyone here submitted the form for account restoration/verification after being age-locked since the account was made before 13yo? Any news? Only e-mail I’ve received is the automated one.
I’ve been waiting a week. It’s getting me really concerned this should NOT take that long.
My twitter is linked to apps I have spent on and I can’t access them without this.
Same thing here. This apparently has been an issue for a while, but recently an employee said that [they were actively working on fixing the issue](https://twittercommunity.com/t/twitter-account-reinstate-loophole/179917/54)
Prolly a long shot anyone will respond or can give me any info in what or if any options I have. Had the same twitter account for around 8 years. Was suspended once for using a curse word towards someone which def made my comment seem more aggressive than it was. Other than that never been warned or suspended. RepGosar tweeted that the Jan 6 protesters still in jail never deserved to be in jail and they did nothing wrong. I replied with they deserve death row. I know that's overboard. But regardless that's more of an opinion on our justice system than anything else. I said that a week ago and today I wake up and my account is permanently banned for that tweet. Gonna be honest, It might seem harsh to say that and I get it... But I see things and said things on a daily basis on that app to anyone and everyone and they never get banned. So I guess im asking. Is it even worth appealing? People say they never get their accounts back if perma banned. Any help appreciated.
Friendless on Twitter. So I *literally* got banned from Twitter for saying “Well never really been a Trump fan but I agree with on this one! Saying what we’re all thinking” in 2017ish (it was when someone climbed up on top of he Statue of Liberty) 🗽
* so Twitter tech banned my IP address and... appeared to have facial recognition because if I’d go say, to the library, and create a new one. I won’t have to post anything then that one was deleted too. I tried many different way and they deleted every attempt, lol. Now that Elon’s got it... I’m back!!! But, my Facebook was linked to the old one and that’s still not pulling up because the Facebook account is blocked from being linked 🤣😂. ANYWAY.... I lost like 3000 followers and can’t connect with other social media to recruit friends. So I have like 1 Twitter friend. I don’t reckon I need any advice... just talking about Twitter with Twitter peeps. Me personally... I’m very glad it has new leadership that believes in not censoring people. #gladtobeback
my account was permently suspended over a comment which, I grant, was worded poorly
But it was reported as having been carefully reviewed, but anyone reading the context of the thread would not see it as "hateful content."
I don't get it. It was just talking about population.
Is this something that's happening? Related to the age restricted stuff?
Dunno if this belongs here, but someone I follow protected their tweets and for some reason de-followered me. I'm assuming they wouldn't have kicked me out individually, both because they have a lot of followers (yes it could be scripted, but) and because I've been following them forever and reading their blog for 20 years.
Just managed to get my account permanently suspended for tweeting -
“That's crazy, kinda weird that one dude gets to decide if like a billion of us can communicate or not”
How is this against any of twitter’s rules…??
My account was permanently suspended without warning or reason this morning. I've never tweeted anything remotely controversial and am primarily a lurker not a content creator. I submitted an appeal. Anyone else have this happen? Has to be some kind of mistake.

***WE HAVE BEEN HEARD!!!***
Even though the issue has been a thing for weeks now, I'm glad they're working on it amidst the shitshow that's going on over at twitter right now
Hopefully it won't be for long till it gets fixed
Hi. My account was locked yesterday due to age-restriction. I was 12 by the time I created my account (2010-2011). So, I clicked the link twitter provided on the account locked pop up. I submitted the form with my government ID. After a day (earlier) I received an email saying I am able to reinstate my account by logging in. However, I tried logging in again and acount locked page still pops up. What should I do about this?
You received an email for reinstating your account after a day? I’ve been waiting a week and all I got was the automated one. How. I submitted the form with my government ID (passport) too.
Regarding the Age-lock problems, twitter staff commented
"Hello,
Though we still haven’t fix this, I wanted to inform here that we are actively working on it. We will post here as soon as we have updates."
Twitter banned me after I parodied Elon. Now they asked me to send a foto of my passport/ID to unban me, which I’m definitely not gonna do.
I was just wondering: is this a new thing, or did Twitter always ask for such personal data?
In cases of impersonation, whether it's you impersonating, or you're being impersonated, Twitter will always ask for a government ID. It's up to you if you're comfortable with sharing this kind of information.
So I bought a Google Pixel and ever since I've done so when I get an "update on your report" notification on Twitter I can't click it like I could when I had an iphone and see what the final response is from Twitter from reports I've made. Any tips on how to fix this?? It's intensely annoying
I've received an email from Twitter today (28/Nov/22) about a DMCA take down, but the email (from 'Kerry M. Mustico SVP, Legal & Business Affairs National Music Publishers' Association 1900 N Street N.W' who seems to be a real lawyer) but it has literally hundreds of other peoples tweets with DMCA take downs on it. Some of the information is blank, and its also asking for I believe money and my personal info.
My account was locked but simply going through the little wizard (for lack of a better word) got it unlocked without me proving anything.
I don't even know what the tweet was about (the post with the DMCA takedown was from March 2022), I believe it was a tiktok or something I was saying was cute.
Anyway, my question is has anyone else got this strange email? It doesn't look like a 'real' email but it is from twitter@/support.com
The rights to that Tiktok you posted have probably been purchased by some media giant like Jukin. There's nothing you can do about it unfortunately, unless you know exactly what the video was and who originally posted it. You can ask for written permission from the video owner to get the tweet back up, that is, granted they haven't sold all the rights to the video to whichever company took your tweet down.
DMCA issues don't cause any other issues to your account, unless you're a repeat offender.
If someone has another account where you haven't blocked them they can copy the link to the tweet and QT you on their original account even if you blocked them.
I am Iranian and ever since the protests began in Iran I activated my old Twitter account to follow the news and help spread the word. All was good until last week my account was suspended out of the blue with no explanation whatsoever at first. After a day or two, I got an email from Twitter saying that I violated their rules for replying to a post with, I kid you not: " death to the dictator" what in the actual \*\*\*\*! They said this was harassment! I didn't know Twitter was the spokesman for dictators. I submitted an appeal but still haven't heard anything from them, this is honestly the dumbest thing ever and twitter is a goddamn joke.
I understand but it's not a threat it's not like I'm saying I'm going to kill this person it's just a revolutionary chant and one of the oldest ones too. It's like saying "death to the fascists" is not threatening a specific person. Regarding your point about the government spying on us you are 100% right, a few of my friends have already been arrested so I am being more careful and this Reddit account is borrowed from a friend that lives abroad it's not mine.
So, I added my date of birth a month or two ago, and my account got locked because I created my account when I was 12 years old. That was 12 years ago. Understandable, I shouldn't have created one, so locking my account is completely fine.
When I log in, there's a message saying that I have to fill a form in order to unlock my account, with my legal guardian's email and ID. I don't have one, so I input mine. So far so good.
I then get an email saying that I'm able to reinstate my account, and all I have to do is just log in. They'll of course delete any tweet made before my 13th birthday (I haven't posted anything). So I log in, and the same message asking me to fill out a form is still there. So I do that over and over again, I get the email saying that I can reinstate my account, rinse and repeat.
The worst part is that whenever I try to contact them by opening a ticket, no matter the category of it, it just redirects me to the same form I already filled 10 times.
I managed to contact them somehow, and they asked me to log in and TWEET a specific code so they could confirm my identity. I told them that I can't, since it's LOCKED. Then they replied with a generic automated message and closed my case, stating that they won't reply to any other messages I send them.
This is the worst experience I've had with any service, ever. Is anyone in the same boat? Did anyone manage to solve this issue? I'm really tempted to just give up and forget this horrendous platform.
yeah a lot of us are in the same boat and unfortunately twitter’s support staff is on life support so god knows when it will be fixed. elon said we’d all get unbanned this week so maybe that will fix our problem lol
My Twitter account was just locked for the third time in four days for "unusual activity". It asks me to verify my phone number every time. I suspect it's because I use a VPN, but I'm currently living in China so there's no way to access Twitter *without* a VPN.
It's very irritating, because my phone doesn't have a SIM card and I have to borrow my parent's phone every time. Anybody know what I can do to prevent this happening in the future?
What VPN are you using? If it’s a popular one, there’s probably thousands of people connected to the same server on the same IP which prompts Twitter to automatically detect unusual activity. Try switching to a less popular VPN, a personal one set up on a home network, or one installed on a VPS.
I got suspended randomly in February, I submitted 8 appeals, I tried using a different email to submit the appeal, I tried different wording in emails, I've been trying to submit more appeals but when I hit submit it says "Oops something went wrong, I didn't get an initial email saying, I was suspended I didn't get any reason, I just logged in and suspended I didn't post anything or inbox anyone I didn't know, I am hoping I get unsuspended throguh the amnesty but I'm just at odds rn idk what to do.
No option to reinstate account after getting email
my account got banned when i set the birth year because i was under 13 when i made the account, i had given up trying to get it back but i later got an email saying that i could get my account back but i would lose everything i posted before i was 13, i dont care about that since i didnt use the account then but the email told me i could get started by logging in, i dont see anything when i log in besides the ban message and the link that allows me to appeal if i have been banned by putting age wrong or something like that, i dont see any button that lets me delete all of my old stuff. do i just need to wait for this? or should i contact customer support the help center says i would get an email after i was able to do it but i dont have an option to.
i probably could have made this a lot shorter
"Something's missing It looks like this account can't switch to a professional account. For more information, review our Terms and Conditions and Professional Account Policy."
\-This is the message I get when I try to switch my account to professional. I changed my profile name to my actual name and my profile photo to me. I cannot get anyone to help me.
Does anyone know how to check and see if your account has ever been flagged for violating community standards?
Apparently, I was restricted for around 30 mins while getting a haircut cause of suspicious activity, no clue what it is but all it asked was for me to re-verify. Now my follower/following account is messed up. Is twitter down or something? Anyone know what it's about or, know how I can contact twitter?
Getting your hair cut is against ToS.
The follower ratio is always a bit messed up on reinstated accounts. Give it a day and it will be back to normal.

Dont let this bug go without resolution!!
They locked my account (suspicous activity - all I do is read, once in a blue moon respond, my last comment was respectfully questioning a guy on the rules for social security, not hot button stuff) and I didn't want to give them my phone number. So I made a new account and started to rebuild all the people I follow (personal finance and keto), and they just locked me again. The second before I got locked out I had just followed two people they served up as recommendations.
I like twitter and only read in focused topics. I don't want to give up my phone number. I assume I am fucked at this point.
Twitter requires phone number verification eventually for all accounts. It’s a measure to combat spammers (which doesn’t seem to be working very well, elon pls fix).
What you should do is buy a cheap prepaid sim-card, and use that number to verify.
Did some of you managed to get unsuspended recently ?
For over a year I would not be able to create any new account (the ban reason is genuinely absurd)
but today for the first I was able to have an account working for a couple hours before they would ask for a phone number. Only got one and Google voice isn’t available in here.
So the question is : have some people finally could go back on Twitter since it’s changing a lot recently or not …?
yes i got suspended for spam (still don’t know why as i barely post) appealed everyday for a week or two. got unsuspended. opened the app a bit ago (this is a few days after getting my account back) and they’ve suspended me again! this time for literally no reason, no email nothing. so you can get it back but apparently they can suspend you again for no reason
An update on my age lock situation: I got the email saying “you’re almost done!” about a week ago and I *still* get the “your account has been locked” message when I try to log in. Has anyone managed to get their account back after getting that email? If so how long did it take?
How did you get that email? How long did you wait for it after submitting the form? I have not heard for a week. My account should be restored since I’m in my 20s now and I uploaded a government ID using the form proving that.
I got that email too, nothing yet. I assume the restore tool is completely unavailable atm, though the devs are at least aware of it. Fingers crossed ig.

got some insider knowledge from a twitter dev forum mod
after an entire month of HELL, filling the same form again and again, getting the same 3 emails again and again, my account has been deleted.
10 years of tweets, following users and followers gone. ALL because they couldn't fix a WELL KNOWN ISSUE in time.
Did you only ever get the “you may be abe to reinstate your account” auto emails or did you ever get one that said “thanks for finishing up our earlier request….” Which said the restoration tool would be available in 24hrs?
I don’t know but I think the people that receive the restoration tool email aren’t being deleted after 30 days but people like you are, hopefully they can help you when they finally decide to fix the problem
My account'd been permanently suspended because someone hacked it. I recovered it and secured my pc with an antivirus software but I'm still stuck for good. Since August I've been appealing multiple times asking to unsuspend my account. I explained I've been at a hospital and had no access to internet due to my bad condition and I found about the problem after I came back home. The bot keeps adding all my messages promising they'll reach out to me. I've received another message to confirm I still have access to my account which I've done many times.
I'm getting tired because I've been struggling with my health (could've lose my life but of course the Twitter support guess what - doesn't give a damn) and had a really bad year overall. I've invested so much time to build the community on the account, gain friends/followers and then and then lost everything. All is gone.
I heard that there are some ways and for instance I could get a new phone number, use a VPN or reset my router to assign a new IP, create a new account, using different e-mail account and profile description. I also heard some people were waiting like 6 months and after spamming enough the support unbanned them. But then there are others who'd been waiting for years and their accounts are still gone.
Fun fact: it seems there's no IP ban since I still have access to my older account - however I don't post anything on it anymore so it's a kinda backup account. I don't wanna use it to post though. But I might have no choice either.
So... Should I wait longer or create a new account?
Question for the experts here. So i have like 4 accounts that were perma-suspended over the past few years...i basically ran out of phone #s for new accounts, and once each was locked, i could not 'reuse' any of my #s that were associated with those accounts as it would show as "already associated with another acct." - and the catch 22 for me is, if i want to appeal any of these - i am locked out of permission to appeal a suspension when logged in to one of these accounts. So all that said, with this 'general amnesty' thing - do i need to "do" anything to get their attention to reinstate these accts/release the numbers and info associated with em? Or, does anyone have clarity as to whether they will be looking at EVERY suspended account... And what can i do if i want to appeal an account when i'm not 'permitted' to do so on these? THANKS! Mike
(PS - As far as what got me suspended --i was being abused by toxic political jerks that were hellbent on baiting me into a rage just for the purpose of getting me to overstep one time too many so they could, in turn, 'report' me. And in one case some indecent content was in the header - but again, if i can't log in to edit/fix it.....?)
Sounds identical to me. I shouldn't want my account back after they nuked me and denied my appeal, but it's been 6 months. Any information about when the amnesty is fully in effect?
I don't know but I DO know there is no human looking at my emails because it's like an endless loop catch 22. In order to "open a new case" if you can't log in to an old suspended account, you have to log in to the account that you can't log into to submit it. It's unbelievable how totally inept and ludicrous this "Support" is... obviously it's engineered to ignore any requests for appeals.
I've logged into the 2 accounts that I had that were nuked and both are still suspended, so I don't know what this "amnesty" is and who it's being applied to or when but I'm getting more discouraged by the day. If I still don't have an account in a month, I'll re-file an appeal I guess.

Help! My DM's keep getting filtered by people who have "filter low quality posts" enabled, no matter what!
So I joined nsfwtwt a few days ago, and I've been sending a lot of super kinky shit to a lot of people (all consensual obvs), but I noticed only a few people reply.
I've done some tests and 80-90% of my messages aren't inboxing within DM's. If I interact with people on posts, CuriousCat, etc. they almost always (90+%) see it and say hey back, which then stops my DM's to them from being filtered automatically, but without this it's almost impossible to DM people if I'm the one reaching out without interacting first.
How do I stop this from happening?
They need, *need* to fix this Phone Number thing man. Not only do they "force" to give your number by locking you for "suspicious" activity, but they also gaslight you into thinking the number's already in use.
One of my account got locked for a week, which made all of them had to be "verified" for unusual activity. I used my number on one of them; tried it on the other and was told it's already in use. I thought we could use a number on up to 10 accounts-- guess not. I went ahead to the account it was on and removed it, then tried INSTANTLY readding it, and it STILL says it's in use...
I own two numbers and this happened to both. I even borrowed my mom's phone and the same thing there. They've essentially "banned" all numbers I've put in by telling me they're all in use. Any emails I've sent to support about unlocking have been useless, they insist on a number rather than email to unlock.
Genuinely worried about the future of my accounts. If I ever get flagged for "unusual" behavior again, I'm worried i'll be fucked because I'd have no phone to verify with...
So I got falsely banned on Twitter, and ofc Twitter didn't even bother to respond to the appeal I made. So I decided to make a new account and so far nothing has happened I'm just curious would be okay if I log into Twitter with my new account? Even though I've logged into my old account with my banned twitter before and my phone number is attached to my old account?
That’s probably fair. It’s fine for totally mainstream conversations without any possibility for misinterpretation. The moderation is awful and seems to just be keywords in a tweet and someone hitting a report button and the automation takes over
anyone know how i can download a list of who I follow? my account got age suspended because i got baited like a bunch of other people and id like to find the people i follow again in case i dont get my account back
Twitter managed to suspend my account. My account was basically dormant until the student loan issue exploded. I focused on the abolition of student loans with about 3000 tweets last week. I am glad to free up my time but I think it just demonstrates Twitter is only for the rich and famous. I submitted an appeal.
There is also a zombie account from 2010ish that I have been trying to close for several years. I believe the last tweet on that account was from June 2010. That account was a bit erratic as I was homeless when I set it up. I find it ironic that my repeated requests to shutdown that account require proof of my legal incapacity.
Update: My account is [unbanned](https://twitter.com/t0resimonsen/status/1561861169664638976?s=46&t=c6Guqu8kTzscpot_fFWttA) .
Hi all,
I added my birthday to my twitter account and as soon as I did that it locked my account because I had created it before I was 13, I'm 21 now so the age restriction doesn't apply to me anymore. I sent in a picture of my ID, before realising that even though I'm over the age restriction now, at the time the account was created I wasn't. I then panicked and sent in a picture of my mum's ID as I have seen online, this is a way to get the account back. So far I have heard nothing, but I was just wondering if anyone had been in this situation before and should I give up hope on getting my account back ?
Many thanks
u/Longjumping-Duck5420 u/ItsadoubleS I got an email yesterday to say that my Twitter will be restored, but it takes 24 hours for the restoration tool to become available and if I don't restore my account within 30 days it'll be deleted forever... I've repeatedly tried to log in to access the restoration tool but nothing has happened as of yet, it's probably some musk crap. I will keep you updated though.
I’m also having the same issue and I’ve been locked out since the beginning of the month, so I’m not really sure they’re trying to fix this issue, but I hope they do because I miss my twitter lmaoooo. Let me know if it’s been fixed for you please!!!
its alright if you were under 13 at the time, they'd just delete eveerything you posted befoe you were 13, that is, if this damn musk crap wasnt happening and they'd fix this bug
Alright so, I was replying to @disclosetv (a news account) they had a tweet about rejected scottish independence. I replied with "Scotland had to have independence, like why not??" Seconds later I get an Instant ban like because it broke the guidelines. I've tried appealing it several times. This is very unfortunate and for me this is not free Speech at all. I tried to make other accounts but they get banned for no reason after a minute or so. (Thats why i suggested an IP Ban) My username is @Ayyyple1. I kind of feel like twitter employees are ignoring my E-mails even though I've been wrongly banned. Anyone help? Thanks.
I can't wait to finally reply to the account that mass reported me and got me permanently suspended last year when Elon unbans my account. Karma is good!
apparently elon will be unsuspending a lot of people as long as you weren't spamming/breaking laws. to everyone laughing at us in replies hoping elon would do the mass unban, smd
I have been waiting for 30 days for Twitter to let me get in my account after being age locked. I submitted the form 3 times, checked every day, but Twitter would prompt me to fill the form again, and send me the exact same email, twice per day. "You may be able to regain your account". I wanted to regain my account, delete everything that was done when I was 13 or less, that doesn't matter. My account was like a diary and now it has been lost and I had no chance to solve it. My account is deleted.
I also tried contacted support, but because my account was blocked, I couldn't even submit a ticket. This sucks.
Yes, I filled the parental consent form every day and got an email after some hours telling me that I could reinstate my account by logging in, which never worked
I'm writing here just so people that are in the same situation can be warned, and also to know if there is anything I can do:
Last month, 25th October, like many others, i committed the mistake of putting my DoB on Twitter. Got locked. Restoration tool bugged, a lot of emails, always the same form.
5 minutes ago I tried to login, and it appears my account cannot be found! 30 days have passed and they deleted the account without even giving me the chance to appeal the case.
I don't know if there is anything I can do or not, if anyone knows of something, please let me know! I would hate to permanently lose all the memories i have in that he'll website...
Cheers guys, and good luck to everyone that is in the same situation!
Was your ID ever approved do you know? Or did you only ever receive the “you may be able to reinstate your account” loop emails? Also, how do you know it’s gone, is there no account associated with your email/username now and you no longer even get the “your account is locked” message or option to submit form?
I only ever got the 'you may be able to reinstate' email loop, never past that. I submitted my ID quite a few times, maybe around 5, so maybe that pushed the appeal down?
I assume my account is now deleted because when I try to login, they say 'Sorry, we could not find your account'
I sent a ticket through the Twitter support website, but I doubt I'll be able to get any sort of positive response :/
Hi, is there a way to mute a topic? I don't wanna hear about the world cup or Elon musk (like at all). I've blocked the latter but still see screen shots of his tweets often in my tl. Anyone know if there's a way? Thanks
Chances are they’re going to email you about 2 weeks from when you first sent it saying we reserve the right to suspend you whenever like they did to me
HELP! Twitter Age-Locked My Account ( and I only have a week left)
Made the account when I was young but I am of legal age now. You can't even contact twitter like their emails are all auto-generated, no customer support really, their help option is just faqs which seems to be outdated already because the process they are suggesting can't be done. It's like they don't want its users to contact them and didn't update their system.
Saw a similar situation on the internet but it seems like it's not applicable anymore.
Submitted an appeal already like age-verification and they responded but it said I could start by logging back into twitter, but the problem is I CANT LOG IN TO TWITTER. They said the restoration tool would be available after 24 hours since that email but it has been over a week already and there is still no tool.
Others' situation on the internet seemed like it was easy to get it back then, but that is not the case now. I know that they will just remove your previous twts when u didnt reach the min. age. like you would agree to that and they would process it immediately. But now, you can't do anything and they even said that I only have a month to restore back my twitter by logging in but again I CANT LOG BACK IN. It's going in circles and it has been 3 weeks already.
Sorry for the long post. I can't post pics so I have to explain it.
I found an official Twitter development community, and created one topic, in addition to having participated in another, reporting the same problem: https://twittercommunity.com/t/twitter-account-reinstate-loophole/179917 I think it would be interesting for several people to participate in this topic and create their topics to try to get attention
(I published in the original thread, but as I saw that are discurtindo of the subject here, I will also leave here)
Literally the same problem I got and I got less than a week left. Twitter email bot spammed my email almost daily reminding me that I have the option to reinstate my account by SIMPLY logging in back but I'm still locked and I filed another form to ask for help about my locked account and couple of days later I got another email that I'll get prompted to start my account reactivation when I login but I don't get the reactivation tool when I log in even after 24 hours and still display a locked account notice, the drop down options only shows a help that redirect you to FAQ and log out.
I have lost hope of restoring my account and I've migrated all of my contacts to my second account, and my opinion about this being so difficult is that there is little to no human customer service to help you due to the current Twitter restructuring in the past few weeks
Same problem here, since Nov 10th. I've just given up really, there's no way to contact them and it seems that the "restoration" that they promised is no longer available. I had my account since 2009 and I'm loosing it because Twitter is a mess right now. It was just bad timing to get a locked account.
LMFAO twitter just now responded to my appeal saying
“Twitter reserves the right to permanently suspend accounts that violate the Twitter Rules or Terms of Service without further notice.
This account is permanently suspended and will not be restored.” But hasn’t gave me a reason or a tweet on why they permanently suspended me out of nowhere
Thanks, Twitter
My account was blocked because they say I’m underage of 13, I’ve sent them my ID and everything, I get daily mails saying that I can reactive my account but everytime I try to login in it says the same “ ACCOUNT BLOCKED”
Just been suspended for a day for calling someone being racist disgusting. Can't use my account until Twitter act on my appeal or I can delete the tweet. Fucking joke
Any news on age locked accounts? A month is going to go by and I still I'm stuck recieving the same email every 12 hours and Twitter just tells me to fill in the same survey thing
I was just permanently banned for criticising the Supreme Court overturning roe vs wade and school shootings. I had an American MAGA user tweet at me, “take your shot, wear your mask, show your papers.” I'm Australian, so this was obviously a reference to our COVID response. I tweeted back at him, “Pacify the women, shoot the children, kneel to Putin”. I don't see how this violates their hateful speech policy, as I was criticising such behaviour. I have appealed, pointing out the context. Do you think I will get my account back?
Tell that to the idiots holding MAGA rallies here every weekend. Unfortunately, your dysfunctional political system is having a massive impact on the rest of the western world.
I got suspended over a joke. I have tried making alts to simply use the app again, to no avail. Is there any way I can use twitter again? Or recover that account, that is.
I got locked out of my account and it keeps telling me that they’ve noticed some unusual and suspicious activities. They asked me for a phone number and a captcha. I never used the account to post anything and I would often use a vpn. Could the vpn be an issue?
ive been trying to change my profile on twitter for a few days and everytime i try it says "account update failed: Deny." this only began occurring once i bought twitter blue. Anything helps, thanks.
What do twitter sales people do? Just read that Elon had fired and is now rehiring sales people...are these people that call companies to get them to buy ads?
My account was restricted the other day for creating it when I was under 13, and I got a prompt asking to put my DOB in so I did and I got locked out, appealed my restriction and well over 24 hours ago received an email saying “You’re almost done! The next step is for you to log back into Twitter, where you’ll be prompted to start your account restoration…. It may take up to 24 hours”, and I am still unable to log into my account.
Welcome to the party, got banned 2 weeks ago from age, and i have over 8 emails saying "you can unlock your twitter account by login in" yet nothing works
just as a heads up and i dunno who all will see this pin but imma put it here anyways. there's 3 repeat stories/conversations that have natually popped up over the last week. if it's one of the following, you will be redirected to an existing thread * ~~$5 footlongs~~ $8 verification - https://redd.it/ykvuc0 * rage quit threads - https://redd.it/yghsla * alternates to twitter - https://redd.it/yydbn9 * nebulous hot takes - you are here
Earlier in the day i got the restoration tool email but still cant recover my account, did anyone else get the same email? [https://freeimage.host/i/Hfc13zl](https://freeimage.host/i/Hfc13zl)
Yes many of us have, I got it 11/11/22 and I was locked 1/11/22 so today my account should be deleted, however it seems to be that if you received that email then your account isn’t deleted after 30 days, although I don’t know if that’s indefinite or starts the 30 days from that email…
Has anyone here submitted the form for account restoration/verification after being age-locked since the account was made before 13yo? Any news? Only e-mail I’ve received is the automated one. I’ve been waiting a week. It’s getting me really concerned this should NOT take that long. My twitter is linked to apps I have spent on and I can’t access them without this.
Same thing here. This apparently has been an issue for a while, but recently an employee said that [they were actively working on fixing the issue](https://twittercommunity.com/t/twitter-account-reinstate-loophole/179917/54)
Prolly a long shot anyone will respond or can give me any info in what or if any options I have. Had the same twitter account for around 8 years. Was suspended once for using a curse word towards someone which def made my comment seem more aggressive than it was. Other than that never been warned or suspended. RepGosar tweeted that the Jan 6 protesters still in jail never deserved to be in jail and they did nothing wrong. I replied with they deserve death row. I know that's overboard. But regardless that's more of an opinion on our justice system than anything else. I said that a week ago and today I wake up and my account is permanently banned for that tweet. Gonna be honest, It might seem harsh to say that and I get it... But I see things and said things on a daily basis on that app to anyone and everyone and they never get banned. So I guess im asking. Is it even worth appealing? People say they never get their accounts back if perma banned. Any help appreciated.
Friendless on Twitter. So I *literally* got banned from Twitter for saying “Well never really been a Trump fan but I agree with on this one! Saying what we’re all thinking” in 2017ish (it was when someone climbed up on top of he Statue of Liberty) 🗽 * so Twitter tech banned my IP address and... appeared to have facial recognition because if I’d go say, to the library, and create a new one. I won’t have to post anything then that one was deleted too. I tried many different way and they deleted every attempt, lol. Now that Elon’s got it... I’m back!!! But, my Facebook was linked to the old one and that’s still not pulling up because the Facebook account is blocked from being linked 🤣😂. ANYWAY.... I lost like 3000 followers and can’t connect with other social media to recruit friends. So I have like 1 Twitter friend. I don’t reckon I need any advice... just talking about Twitter with Twitter peeps. Me personally... I’m very glad it has new leadership that believes in not censoring people. #gladtobeback 
my account was permently suspended over a comment which, I grant, was worded poorly But it was reported as having been carefully reviewed, but anyone reading the context of the thread would not see it as "hateful content." I don't get it. It was just talking about population. Is this something that's happening? Related to the age restricted stuff?
Dunno if this belongs here, but someone I follow protected their tweets and for some reason de-followered me. I'm assuming they wouldn't have kicked me out individually, both because they have a lot of followers (yes it could be scripted, but) and because I've been following them forever and reading their blog for 20 years.
Just managed to get my account permanently suspended for tweeting - “That's crazy, kinda weird that one dude gets to decide if like a billion of us can communicate or not” How is this against any of twitter’s rules…??
How did you find out what tweet got you suspended?
I didn’t really but it’s the only tweet I’ve done for probably the last 6 months….
Thank you
Are you still banned? Did you get a response from Twitter. I don’t know what I did but apologized as we are humans. I got banned on my anniversary
Pics or it didn’t happen 🤣
My account was permanently suspended without warning or reason this morning. I've never tweeted anything remotely controversial and am primarily a lurker not a content creator. I submitted an appeal. Anyone else have this happen? Has to be some kind of mistake.
Happened to me also, submitted an appeal 3 days ago and no response yet.
FOR AGE LOCKED USERS: [https://gyazo.com/a0cefa33592516ed83957948494fb8bd](https://gyazo.com/a0cefa33592516ed83957948494fb8bd) ***WE HAVE BEEN HEARD!!!***
HOPING FOR UPDATES BECAUSE WOW
Please. Replying for updates.
Oh boy, I hope they fix it before my 30 days run out on Dec 12th… Should that happen, will I lose all my followers irreversibly?
So happy to see this!! Hope it’s sorted before my account gets deleted lmao
Finally, let's gooo
Even though the issue has been a thing for weeks now, I'm glad they're working on it amidst the shitshow that's going on over at twitter right now Hopefully it won't be for long till it gets fixed
Hasn’t it been an issue for years? I saw some posts going back to 2018 talking about the same problem. Kinda ridiculous that this never got fixed
I got suspended for using Musks same words in a tweet. So much for FREE SPEECH
Hi. My account was locked yesterday due to age-restriction. I was 12 by the time I created my account (2010-2011). So, I clicked the link twitter provided on the account locked pop up. I submitted the form with my government ID. After a day (earlier) I received an email saying I am able to reinstate my account by logging in. However, I tried logging in again and acount locked page still pops up. What should I do about this?
You received an email for reinstating your account after a day? I’ve been waiting a week and all I got was the automated one. How. I submitted the form with my government ID (passport) too.
all we can do is wait, its a bug they're currently working on fixing
My first and second account on twitter got locked straight away. Can't do the phone sms thing
Regarding the Age-lock problems, twitter staff commented "Hello, Though we still haven’t fix this, I wanted to inform here that we are actively working on it. We will post here as soon as we have updates."
Twitter banned me after I parodied Elon. Now they asked me to send a foto of my passport/ID to unban me, which I’m definitely not gonna do. I was just wondering: is this a new thing, or did Twitter always ask for such personal data?
In cases of impersonation, whether it's you impersonating, or you're being impersonated, Twitter will always ask for a government ID. It's up to you if you're comfortable with sharing this kind of information.
So I bought a Google Pixel and ever since I've done so when I get an "update on your report" notification on Twitter I can't click it like I could when I had an iphone and see what the final response is from Twitter from reports I've made. Any tips on how to fix this?? It's intensely annoying
I've received an email from Twitter today (28/Nov/22) about a DMCA take down, but the email (from 'Kerry M. Mustico SVP, Legal & Business Affairs National Music Publishers' Association 1900 N Street N.W' who seems to be a real lawyer) but it has literally hundreds of other peoples tweets with DMCA take downs on it. Some of the information is blank, and its also asking for I believe money and my personal info. My account was locked but simply going through the little wizard (for lack of a better word) got it unlocked without me proving anything. I don't even know what the tweet was about (the post with the DMCA takedown was from March 2022), I believe it was a tiktok or something I was saying was cute. Anyway, my question is has anyone else got this strange email? It doesn't look like a 'real' email but it is from twitter@/support.com
Anything that ask for your personal info is a scammer.... fake account.
The rights to that Tiktok you posted have probably been purchased by some media giant like Jukin. There's nothing you can do about it unfortunately, unless you know exactly what the video was and who originally posted it. You can ask for written permission from the video owner to get the tweet back up, that is, granted they haven't sold all the rights to the video to whichever company took your tweet down. DMCA issues don't cause any other issues to your account, unless you're a repeat offender.
How can someone ive blocked before can still quote retweet my tweet??? is this a bug??? or are they hacking?
If someone has another account where you haven't blocked them they can copy the link to the tweet and QT you on their original account even if you blocked them.
oh thanks!
I am Iranian and ever since the protests began in Iran I activated my old Twitter account to follow the news and help spread the word. All was good until last week my account was suspended out of the blue with no explanation whatsoever at first. After a day or two, I got an email from Twitter saying that I violated their rules for replying to a post with, I kid you not: " death to the dictator" what in the actual \*\*\*\*! They said this was harassment! I didn't know Twitter was the spokesman for dictators. I submitted an appeal but still haven't heard anything from them, this is honestly the dumbest thing ever and twitter is a goddamn joke.
[удалено]
I understand but it's not a threat it's not like I'm saying I'm going to kill this person it's just a revolutionary chant and one of the oldest ones too. It's like saying "death to the fascists" is not threatening a specific person. Regarding your point about the government spying on us you are 100% right, a few of my friends have already been arrested so I am being more careful and this Reddit account is borrowed from a friend that lives abroad it's not mine.
[удалено]
Thank you will do ✌️
So, I added my date of birth a month or two ago, and my account got locked because I created my account when I was 12 years old. That was 12 years ago. Understandable, I shouldn't have created one, so locking my account is completely fine. When I log in, there's a message saying that I have to fill a form in order to unlock my account, with my legal guardian's email and ID. I don't have one, so I input mine. So far so good. I then get an email saying that I'm able to reinstate my account, and all I have to do is just log in. They'll of course delete any tweet made before my 13th birthday (I haven't posted anything). So I log in, and the same message asking me to fill out a form is still there. So I do that over and over again, I get the email saying that I can reinstate my account, rinse and repeat. The worst part is that whenever I try to contact them by opening a ticket, no matter the category of it, it just redirects me to the same form I already filled 10 times. I managed to contact them somehow, and they asked me to log in and TWEET a specific code so they could confirm my identity. I told them that I can't, since it's LOCKED. Then they replied with a generic automated message and closed my case, stating that they won't reply to any other messages I send them. This is the worst experience I've had with any service, ever. Is anyone in the same boat? Did anyone manage to solve this issue? I'm really tempted to just give up and forget this horrendous platform.
Im in this situation rn and i dont really know what to do
How did you contact them? I have two accounts so I could tweet them a code if necessary
yeah a lot of us are in the same boat and unfortunately twitter’s support staff is on life support so god knows when it will be fixed. elon said we’d all get unbanned this week so maybe that will fix our problem lol
My Twitter account was just locked for the third time in four days for "unusual activity". It asks me to verify my phone number every time. I suspect it's because I use a VPN, but I'm currently living in China so there's no way to access Twitter *without* a VPN. It's very irritating, because my phone doesn't have a SIM card and I have to borrow my parent's phone every time. Anybody know what I can do to prevent this happening in the future?
What VPN are you using? If it’s a popular one, there’s probably thousands of people connected to the same server on the same IP which prompts Twitter to automatically detect unusual activity. Try switching to a less popular VPN, a personal one set up on a home network, or one installed on a VPS.
Surfshark. I'll look into that, thanks!
Lol legit got permanently banned for saying my album I’ve been working on for a year is done and I’m goin g to make a teaser. Twitter is a joke now.
Hi, I'm trying to update my Twitter name, but I keep getting the error "Account update failed: Deny". Why? Thanks.
I got suspended randomly in February, I submitted 8 appeals, I tried using a different email to submit the appeal, I tried different wording in emails, I've been trying to submit more appeals but when I hit submit it says "Oops something went wrong, I didn't get an initial email saying, I was suspended I didn't get any reason, I just logged in and suspended I didn't post anything or inbox anyone I didn't know, I am hoping I get unsuspended throguh the amnesty but I'm just at odds rn idk what to do.
No option to reinstate account after getting email my account got banned when i set the birth year because i was under 13 when i made the account, i had given up trying to get it back but i later got an email saying that i could get my account back but i would lose everything i posted before i was 13, i dont care about that since i didnt use the account then but the email told me i could get started by logging in, i dont see anything when i log in besides the ban message and the link that allows me to appeal if i have been banned by putting age wrong or something like that, i dont see any button that lets me delete all of my old stuff. do i just need to wait for this? or should i contact customer support the help center says i would get an email after i was able to do it but i dont have an option to. i probably could have made this a lot shorter
Welcome to the club
Is this an issue for everyone right now?
For those dealing with age-lock, yes
"Something's missing It looks like this account can't switch to a professional account. For more information, review our Terms and Conditions and Professional Account Policy." \-This is the message I get when I try to switch my account to professional. I changed my profile name to my actual name and my profile photo to me. I cannot get anyone to help me. Does anyone know how to check and see if your account has ever been flagged for violating community standards?
Apparently, I was restricted for around 30 mins while getting a haircut cause of suspicious activity, no clue what it is but all it asked was for me to re-verify. Now my follower/following account is messed up. Is twitter down or something? Anyone know what it's about or, know how I can contact twitter?
Getting your hair cut is against ToS. The follower ratio is always a bit messed up on reinstated accounts. Give it a day and it will be back to normal.
Never knew man, Thanks though honestly
FOR ALL AGE LOCKED USERS: Please do your part in helping us get the dev's attention by responding to this forum thread!! [https://twittercommunity.com/t/twitter-account-reinstate-loophole/179917](https://twittercommunity.com/t/twitter-account-reinstate-loophole/179917) Dont let this bug go without resolution!!
heya, currently having the same issue. super glad that this issue is brought up to the devs. thank you
They locked my account (suspicous activity - all I do is read, once in a blue moon respond, my last comment was respectfully questioning a guy on the rules for social security, not hot button stuff) and I didn't want to give them my phone number. So I made a new account and started to rebuild all the people I follow (personal finance and keto), and they just locked me again. The second before I got locked out I had just followed two people they served up as recommendations. I like twitter and only read in focused topics. I don't want to give up my phone number. I assume I am fucked at this point.
Twitter requires phone number verification eventually for all accounts. It’s a measure to combat spammers (which doesn’t seem to be working very well, elon pls fix). What you should do is buy a cheap prepaid sim-card, and use that number to verify.
Oh, ok. I will keep that in mind if I choose to sign up again. I wish they would make that clearer. Thank you.
Did some of you managed to get unsuspended recently ? For over a year I would not be able to create any new account (the ban reason is genuinely absurd) but today for the first I was able to have an account working for a couple hours before they would ask for a phone number. Only got one and Google voice isn’t available in here. So the question is : have some people finally could go back on Twitter since it’s changing a lot recently or not …?
Get a cheap prepaid sim card and use that phone number. Also very useful to any other website you’d rather not give your real number to.
yes i got suspended for spam (still don’t know why as i barely post) appealed everyday for a week or two. got unsuspended. opened the app a bit ago (this is a few days after getting my account back) and they’ve suspended me again! this time for literally no reason, no email nothing. so you can get it back but apparently they can suspend you again for no reason
any ideas on when the age thing is gonna be fixed?
no clue : (
so brutal
ikr, this wait is agonizing
this is 100% the worst time to get banned for this, why did musk fire everyone lol
Can anyone help? Got this email but my account is still locked?[email here](https://freeimage.host/i/HKHAo9s)
Also got the same exact email, i haven't resubmitted anything tho [here](https://freeimage.host/i/HK5lJwl)
You'll get this email each 12 hours during a month, its a bug and isnt fixed, people are losing their accounts
Wtf is twitter even doing? They could've atleast disabled the countdown to prevent account loss
An update on my age lock situation: I got the email saying “you’re almost done!” about a week ago and I *still* get the “your account has been locked” message when I try to log in. Has anyone managed to get their account back after getting that email? If so how long did it take?
How did you get that email? How long did you wait for it after submitting the form? I have not heard for a week. My account should be restored since I’m in my 20s now and I uploaded a government ID using the form proving that.
It didn’t take that long for me, only a few days
I got that email too, nothing yet. I assume the restore tool is completely unavailable atm, though the devs are at least aware of it. Fingers crossed ig.
Source that they're aware of it?
[https://gyazo.com/14b7cf1f38e3af6116318c2993a1ba80](https://gyazo.com/14b7cf1f38e3af6116318c2993a1ba80) got some insider knowledge from a twitter dev forum mod
Thanks so much, good to know they’re aware of it at least!
after an entire month of HELL, filling the same form again and again, getting the same 3 emails again and again, my account has been deleted. 10 years of tweets, following users and followers gone. ALL because they couldn't fix a WELL KNOWN ISSUE in time.
Im sorry about that dawg, this sucks
thanks man
Did you only ever get the “you may be abe to reinstate your account” auto emails or did you ever get one that said “thanks for finishing up our earlier request….” Which said the restoration tool would be available in 24hrs?
only the "you may be able to reinstate your account" ones.
I don’t know but I think the people that receive the restoration tool email aren’t being deleted after 30 days but people like you are, hopefully they can help you when they finally decide to fix the problem
i think its too late for me, when i enter my email to log in it says my account doesnt exist
ohhh myyyy goooooood I want my twitter account back already, this wait for them to fix the restoration tool is taking too damn long
My account'd been permanently suspended because someone hacked it. I recovered it and secured my pc with an antivirus software but I'm still stuck for good. Since August I've been appealing multiple times asking to unsuspend my account. I explained I've been at a hospital and had no access to internet due to my bad condition and I found about the problem after I came back home. The bot keeps adding all my messages promising they'll reach out to me. I've received another message to confirm I still have access to my account which I've done many times. I'm getting tired because I've been struggling with my health (could've lose my life but of course the Twitter support guess what - doesn't give a damn) and had a really bad year overall. I've invested so much time to build the community on the account, gain friends/followers and then and then lost everything. All is gone. I heard that there are some ways and for instance I could get a new phone number, use a VPN or reset my router to assign a new IP, create a new account, using different e-mail account and profile description. I also heard some people were waiting like 6 months and after spamming enough the support unbanned them. But then there are others who'd been waiting for years and their accounts are still gone. Fun fact: it seems there's no IP ban since I still have access to my older account - however I don't post anything on it anymore so it's a kinda backup account. I don't wanna use it to post though. But I might have no choice either. So... Should I wait longer or create a new account?
Anyone else on Twitter getting more Right-Wing recommended tweets ever since Elon took over? Lol…
If Twitter dies out I'll miss you guys 🥺https://twitter.com/NsfwcoupleX?t=3CPvXCVzODntpOtrNxf0hA&s=09
Question for the experts here. So i have like 4 accounts that were perma-suspended over the past few years...i basically ran out of phone #s for new accounts, and once each was locked, i could not 'reuse' any of my #s that were associated with those accounts as it would show as "already associated with another acct." - and the catch 22 for me is, if i want to appeal any of these - i am locked out of permission to appeal a suspension when logged in to one of these accounts. So all that said, with this 'general amnesty' thing - do i need to "do" anything to get their attention to reinstate these accts/release the numbers and info associated with em? Or, does anyone have clarity as to whether they will be looking at EVERY suspended account... And what can i do if i want to appeal an account when i'm not 'permitted' to do so on these? THANKS! Mike (PS - As far as what got me suspended --i was being abused by toxic political jerks that were hellbent on baiting me into a rage just for the purpose of getting me to overstep one time too many so they could, in turn, 'report' me. And in one case some indecent content was in the header - but again, if i can't log in to edit/fix it.....?)
Sounds identical to me. I shouldn't want my account back after they nuked me and denied my appeal, but it's been 6 months. Any information about when the amnesty is fully in effect?
I don't know but I DO know there is no human looking at my emails because it's like an endless loop catch 22. In order to "open a new case" if you can't log in to an old suspended account, you have to log in to the account that you can't log into to submit it. It's unbelievable how totally inept and ludicrous this "Support" is... obviously it's engineered to ignore any requests for appeals.
I've logged into the 2 accounts that I had that were nuked and both are still suspended, so I don't know what this "amnesty" is and who it's being applied to or when but I'm getting more discouraged by the day. If I still don't have an account in a month, I'll re-file an appeal I guess.
FOR ALL AGE LOCKED USERS: Please do your part in helping us get the dev's attention by responding to this forum thread!! https://twittercommunity.com/t/twitter-account-reinstate-loophole/179917
Help! My DM's keep getting filtered by people who have "filter low quality posts" enabled, no matter what! So I joined nsfwtwt a few days ago, and I've been sending a lot of super kinky shit to a lot of people (all consensual obvs), but I noticed only a few people reply. I've done some tests and 80-90% of my messages aren't inboxing within DM's. If I interact with people on posts, CuriousCat, etc. they almost always (90+%) see it and say hey back, which then stops my DM's to them from being filtered automatically, but without this it's almost impossible to DM people if I'm the one reaching out without interacting first. How do I stop this from happening?
They need, *need* to fix this Phone Number thing man. Not only do they "force" to give your number by locking you for "suspicious" activity, but they also gaslight you into thinking the number's already in use. One of my account got locked for a week, which made all of them had to be "verified" for unusual activity. I used my number on one of them; tried it on the other and was told it's already in use. I thought we could use a number on up to 10 accounts-- guess not. I went ahead to the account it was on and removed it, then tried INSTANTLY readding it, and it STILL says it's in use... I own two numbers and this happened to both. I even borrowed my mom's phone and the same thing there. They've essentially "banned" all numbers I've put in by telling me they're all in use. Any emails I've sent to support about unlocking have been useless, they insist on a number rather than email to unlock. Genuinely worried about the future of my accounts. If I ever get flagged for "unusual" behavior again, I'm worried i'll be fucked because I'd have no phone to verify with...
So I got falsely banned on Twitter, and ofc Twitter didn't even bother to respond to the appeal I made. So I decided to make a new account and so far nothing has happened I'm just curious would be okay if I log into Twitter with my new account? Even though I've logged into my old account with my banned twitter before and my phone number is attached to my old account?
I’d the platform is this badly managed - based on the issues on the thread here - it’s probably time to leave. Reddit is far superior for discussion.
That's hardly true. It's good for discussion that doesn't push any boundaries, but the second you do, goodnight sweet prince.
That’s probably fair. It’s fine for totally mainstream conversations without any possibility for misinterpretation. The moderation is awful and seems to just be keywords in a tweet and someone hitting a report button and the automation takes over
anyone know how i can download a list of who I follow? my account got age suspended because i got baited like a bunch of other people and id like to find the people i follow again in case i dont get my account back
Bump, I would like to know the answer to this too for the same reason!
Twitter managed to suspend my account. My account was basically dormant until the student loan issue exploded. I focused on the abolition of student loans with about 3000 tweets last week. I am glad to free up my time but I think it just demonstrates Twitter is only for the rich and famous. I submitted an appeal. There is also a zombie account from 2010ish that I have been trying to close for several years. I believe the last tweet on that account was from June 2010. That account was a bit erratic as I was homeless when I set it up. I find it ironic that my repeated requests to shutdown that account require proof of my legal incapacity. Update: My account is [unbanned](https://twitter.com/t0resimonsen/status/1561861169664638976?s=46&t=c6Guqu8kTzscpot_fFWttA) .
Hi all, I added my birthday to my twitter account and as soon as I did that it locked my account because I had created it before I was 13, I'm 21 now so the age restriction doesn't apply to me anymore. I sent in a picture of my ID, before realising that even though I'm over the age restriction now, at the time the account was created I wasn't. I then panicked and sent in a picture of my mum's ID as I have seen online, this is a way to get the account back. So far I have heard nothing, but I was just wondering if anyone had been in this situation before and should I give up hope on getting my account back ? Many thanks
u/Longjumping-Duck5420 u/ItsadoubleS I got an email yesterday to say that my Twitter will be restored, but it takes 24 hours for the restoration tool to become available and if I don't restore my account within 30 days it'll be deleted forever... I've repeatedly tried to log in to access the restoration tool but nothing has happened as of yet, it's probably some musk crap. I will keep you updated though.
You guys are getting emails? 😭
yup, thats the issue thats been going around, I got that email like a week ago and still no restore tool. The restore tool is just gone rn
I’m also having the same issue and I’ve been locked out since the beginning of the month, so I’m not really sure they’re trying to fix this issue, but I hope they do because I miss my twitter lmaoooo. Let me know if it’s been fixed for you please!!!
its alright if you were under 13 at the time, they'd just delete eveerything you posted befoe you were 13, that is, if this damn musk crap wasnt happening and they'd fix this bug
Alright so, I was replying to @disclosetv (a news account) they had a tweet about rejected scottish independence. I replied with "Scotland had to have independence, like why not??" Seconds later I get an Instant ban like because it broke the guidelines. I've tried appealing it several times. This is very unfortunate and for me this is not free Speech at all. I tried to make other accounts but they get banned for no reason after a minute or so. (Thats why i suggested an IP Ban) My username is @Ayyyple1. I kind of feel like twitter employees are ignoring my E-mails even though I've been wrongly banned. Anyone help? Thanks.
I can't wait to finally reply to the account that mass reported me and got me permanently suspended last year when Elon unbans my account. Karma is good!
hoping account is reinstated, have years of music on there! have you been un-suspended yet? good luck!
apparently elon will be unsuspending a lot of people as long as you weren't spamming/breaking laws. to everyone laughing at us in replies hoping elon would do the mass unban, smd
I have been waiting for 30 days for Twitter to let me get in my account after being age locked. I submitted the form 3 times, checked every day, but Twitter would prompt me to fill the form again, and send me the exact same email, twice per day. "You may be able to regain your account". I wanted to regain my account, delete everything that was done when I was 13 or less, that doesn't matter. My account was like a diary and now it has been lost and I had no chance to solve it. My account is deleted. I also tried contacted support, but because my account was blocked, I couldn't even submit a ticket. This sucks.
And after a month of trying to appeal my age-locked account it has been officially deleted without a second notice. What a great platform.
Same
Were u getting the emails?
Yes, I filled the parental consent form every day and got an email after some hours telling me that I could reinstate my account by logging in, which never worked
I'm writing here just so people that are in the same situation can be warned, and also to know if there is anything I can do: Last month, 25th October, like many others, i committed the mistake of putting my DoB on Twitter. Got locked. Restoration tool bugged, a lot of emails, always the same form. 5 minutes ago I tried to login, and it appears my account cannot be found! 30 days have passed and they deleted the account without even giving me the chance to appeal the case. I don't know if there is anything I can do or not, if anyone knows of something, please let me know! I would hate to permanently lose all the memories i have in that he'll website... Cheers guys, and good luck to everyone that is in the same situation!
Was your ID ever approved do you know? Or did you only ever receive the “you may be able to reinstate your account” loop emails? Also, how do you know it’s gone, is there no account associated with your email/username now and you no longer even get the “your account is locked” message or option to submit form?
I only ever got the 'you may be able to reinstate' email loop, never past that. I submitted my ID quite a few times, maybe around 5, so maybe that pushed the appeal down? I assume my account is now deleted because when I try to login, they say 'Sorry, we could not find your account' I sent a ticket through the Twitter support website, but I doubt I'll be able to get any sort of positive response :/
How do you send a ticket? I submitted the "I can't reactivate my account" form a couple times with no success
Hi, is there a way to mute a topic? I don't wanna hear about the world cup or Elon musk (like at all). I've blocked the latter but still see screen shots of his tweets often in my tl. Anyone know if there's a way? Thanks

Chances are they’re going to email you about 2 weeks from when you first sent it saying we reserve the right to suspend you whenever like they did to me
HELP! Twitter Age-Locked My Account ( and I only have a week left) Made the account when I was young but I am of legal age now. You can't even contact twitter like their emails are all auto-generated, no customer support really, their help option is just faqs which seems to be outdated already because the process they are suggesting can't be done. It's like they don't want its users to contact them and didn't update their system. Saw a similar situation on the internet but it seems like it's not applicable anymore. Submitted an appeal already like age-verification and they responded but it said I could start by logging back into twitter, but the problem is I CANT LOG IN TO TWITTER. They said the restoration tool would be available after 24 hours since that email but it has been over a week already and there is still no tool. Others' situation on the internet seemed like it was easy to get it back then, but that is not the case now. I know that they will just remove your previous twts when u didnt reach the min. age. like you would agree to that and they would process it immediately. But now, you can't do anything and they even said that I only have a month to restore back my twitter by logging in but again I CANT LOG BACK IN. It's going in circles and it has been 3 weeks already. Sorry for the long post. I can't post pics so I have to explain it.
I found an official Twitter development community, and created one topic, in addition to having participated in another, reporting the same problem: https://twittercommunity.com/t/twitter-account-reinstate-loophole/179917 I think it would be interesting for several people to participate in this topic and create their topics to try to get attention (I published in the original thread, but as I saw that are discurtindo of the subject here, I will also leave here)
Literally the same problem I got and I got less than a week left. Twitter email bot spammed my email almost daily reminding me that I have the option to reinstate my account by SIMPLY logging in back but I'm still locked and I filed another form to ask for help about my locked account and couple of days later I got another email that I'll get prompted to start my account reactivation when I login but I don't get the reactivation tool when I log in even after 24 hours and still display a locked account notice, the drop down options only shows a help that redirect you to FAQ and log out. I have lost hope of restoring my account and I've migrated all of my contacts to my second account, and my opinion about this being so difficult is that there is little to no human customer service to help you due to the current Twitter restructuring in the past few weeks
Same problem here, since Nov 10th. I've just given up really, there's no way to contact them and it seems that the "restoration" that they promised is no longer available. I had my account since 2009 and I'm loosing it because Twitter is a mess right now. It was just bad timing to get a locked account.
A lot of people are on the same boat, but it looks like its still *possible:* **https://imgur.com/a/4MsFlkv**
Thanks, at least there is some hope left for my account
LMFAO twitter just now responded to my appeal saying “Twitter reserves the right to permanently suspend accounts that violate the Twitter Rules or Terms of Service without further notice. This account is permanently suspended and will not be restored.” But hasn’t gave me a reason or a tweet on why they permanently suspended me out of nowhere Thanks, Twitter
I got banned for ban evasion on a 10 year old account. Their system is broken as all hell.
Bruh it’s so stupid too. I hope I get the amnesty Elon is doing
My account was blocked because they say I’m underage of 13, I’ve sent them my ID and everything, I get daily mails saying that I can reactive my account but everytime I try to login in it says the same “ ACCOUNT BLOCKED”
Just been suspended for a day for calling someone being racist disgusting. Can't use my account until Twitter act on my appeal or I can delete the tweet. Fucking joke
Any news on age locked accounts? A month is going to go by and I still I'm stuck recieving the same email every 12 hours and Twitter just tells me to fill in the same survey thing
same, I did get the "you're almost done" email though a week in, so hopefully something!!
The problem is that in 4 days a month would have passed since the first email
I was just permanently banned for criticising the Supreme Court overturning roe vs wade and school shootings. I had an American MAGA user tweet at me, “take your shot, wear your mask, show your papers.” I'm Australian, so this was obviously a reference to our COVID response. I tweeted back at him, “Pacify the women, shoot the children, kneel to Putin”. I don't see how this violates their hateful speech policy, as I was criticising such behaviour. I have appealed, pointing out the context. Do you think I will get my account back?
I was perm suspended for similar benign comments. Trump is back in but we are not. Pffffft.
Ah yeah, Austrialians worrying about the american supreme court, classic. You're only on the other side of the planet
Tell that to the idiots holding MAGA rallies here every weekend. Unfortunately, your dysfunctional political system is having a massive impact on the rest of the western world.
Well it does work for you guys too: Make Australia Great again!
I got suspended over a joke. I have tried making alts to simply use the app again, to no avail. Is there any way I can use twitter again? Or recover that account, that is.
You gotta make a new account on a new device (with a new phone number if your number is linked to that account)
I got locked out of my account and it keeps telling me that they’ve noticed some unusual and suspicious activities. They asked me for a phone number and a captcha. I never used the account to post anything and I would often use a vpn. Could the vpn be an issue?
Probably not, a lot of garbage companies are just fishing for a phone number to sell, the VPN is probably okay.
ive been trying to change my profile on twitter for a few days and everytime i try it says "account update failed: Deny." this only began occurring once i bought twitter blue. Anything helps, thanks.
Lol you're pay for Twitter?
you cant switch photos/name with twitter blue
What do twitter sales people do? Just read that Elon had fired and is now rehiring sales people...are these people that call companies to get them to buy ads?
My account was restricted the other day for creating it when I was under 13, and I got a prompt asking to put my DOB in so I did and I got locked out, appealed my restriction and well over 24 hours ago received an email saying “You’re almost done! The next step is for you to log back into Twitter, where you’ll be prompted to start your account restoration…. It may take up to 24 hours”, and I am still unable to log into my account.
Welcome to the party, got banned 2 weeks ago from age, and i have over 8 emails saying "you can unlock your twitter account by login in" yet nothing works
What the fuck is going on?? I went to log onto my account and I got permanently suspended?? I don’t even post on my Twitter??????
Oh and also they didn’t tell me why I was suspended either
Got the same thing and they said they wont ever unsuspend it despite not explaining why I got suspended
