Recently, one of my twitter accounts was suspended and I have received the following violation message “You may not use Twitter’s services in a manner intended to artificially amplify or suppress information or engage in behavior that manipulates or disrupts people’s experience on Twitter”.

The thing is I have been using this account for over a few months now mainly for engaging with my crypto projects and friends. In fact, the account is connected to many web3 platforms that will negatively affect my activities and portfolio if the suspension took a longer period of time.
