Twitter, for unknown reasons, began to block the accounts of members of the cryptocurrency community, many of which have over 100 thousand subscribers.
At the time of publication, at least four blocked accounts were known: @KoroushAK, @TheCryptoDog, @TheMoonCarl and @MMCrypto. Also, access was restricted to the @wsbchairman account, which writes on financial topics in general and has already gained almost a million subscribers. In addition, the accounts @ 100trillionUSD (PlanB) and @woonomic (Willie Wu) were blocked. Access to them was restored. At the same time, Wu’s subscriber counter was reset, but if the account was subscribed to him before, then it remains after.
When blocking, Twitter refers to its own set of rules. Around the aforementioned accounts, a large number of imitators arose, copying their content to deceive users, so Twitter could have blocked them during the proceedings.
Meanwhile, Twitter began to slow down in Russia. According to Roskomnadzor on its website, they “took measures to protect Russian citizens from the influence of illegal content.” According to the publication, Twitter is used to disseminate “calls to commit suicide by minors, child pornography, and information about the use of drugs.”
The department explained that Twitter did not respond to more than 28 thousand requests to remove illegal links and publications, so it was decided to slow down its work on 100% of mobile devices and 50% of stationary devices. If violations continue, Roskomnadzor admits the possibility of completely blocking the platform on the territory of the Russian Federation.
UPD: Willie Wu shared a message he received from Twitter:
“We have systems in place to identify and remove in groups multiple automated spam accounts. Your account has been flagged as a spam account by mistake. Please note that it can take an hour to restore the number of subscribers and subscriptions. “
