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.
Fix it
How to fix it
Log in and follow any prompt to confirm your phone number or email address, which can lift the suspension.
If that does not work and you think it was a mistake, stay logged in to the suspended account.
Open a new browser tab and file an appeal with X.
