X account suspended

Suspended for spam, abuse or a security risk

The account is suspended and you cannot post or interact. X suspends accounts for spam, for abusive behavior or when it suspects the account was hacked.

Is X (Twitter) down right now? Operational: 49 problem reports in the last hour. If it were down for everyone, this problem could come from there; right now it looks normal.
Fix it

How to fix it

  1. Log in and follow any prompt to confirm your phone number or email address, which can lift the suspension.

  2. If that does not work and you think it was a mistake, stay logged in to the suspended account.

  3. Open a new browser tab and file an appeal with X.
