What does permanently suspended mean on Twitter?

Answered by Willian Lymon

Permanently suspended on Twitter means that an account has been removed from the platform and the user will not be able to create new accounts in the future. This action is taken by Twitter when the account has violated their rules and policies in a severe manner.

When an account is permanently suspended, it is completely removed from view. This means that the account and all of its tweets, retweets, followers, and following lists will no longer be accessible. The user’s profile will cease to exist and their username will become available for others to use.

The decision to permanently suspend an account is not taken lightly by Twitter. It is typically done when the user has engaged in serious violations such as spamming, harassment, hate speech, or sharing explicit or violent content. Twitter has strict guidelines in place to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all users, and when these guidelines are repeatedly and egregiously violated, they may result in permanent suspension.

Once an account is permanently suspended, the user is not allowed to create new accounts using the same email address or phone number. Twitter takes measures to prevent the violator from circumventing the suspension by creating new accounts. However, it is important to note that Twitter does allow users to appeal their suspension if they believe it was done in error or if they have rectified the issue that led to the suspension.

In my personal experience, I have witnessed accounts being permanently suspended for engaging in abusive behavior, spreading false information, or promoting harmful ideologies. It is crucial for Twitter to take swift action in such cases to protect the well-being and safety of its user community.

To summarize, when an account is permanently suspended on Twitter, it is removed from the platform and the user is prohibited from creating new accounts. This action is taken when the account has committed severe violations of Twitter’s rules and policies. The decision is made to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all users.
