X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has suspended an account using the name “Twitter”, citing violations of its platform rules.
According to a notice shown on the account page, X said the suspension was due to rule-breaking activity. The platform did not immediately share specific details about which policies were violated or how long the suspension would last.
The move caused confusion among users, as X itself was previously known as Twitter before being rebranded in 2023. Some users initially believed the platform had taken action against itself, but the suspension applies only to an individual account, not the company or service.
X routinely suspends accounts that break its rules, which cover issues such as impersonation, misleading information, spam, and abusive behavior. Accounts using names or branding that could confuse users are also subject to enforcement.
As of now, X has not released further clarification, and it is unclear whether the suspended account will be restored after review.
This story has just broken and will be updated soon…
