My assumption (while knowing dick-all about Twitter's suspension mechanisms) would be a semi-coordinated flagging from a group of users. While it's hard not to notice the rightward tilt of the platform and the recent revelation of the right's fascination with authoritarians like Putin, they don't normally like to do things quite so obvious as banning their ideological opponents. I assume she'll be restored in short order.

- zpeti 3y agoIt is an excuse for temporary suspensions which happen all the time and are then restored. It’s probably impossible to do mass moderation any other way.
- The_Colonel 3y agoIt is possible, but it involves hiring, not firing people.
- protomolecule 3y agoFacebook has absolutely no problem with the 'right kind' of censorship.
- TrackerFF 3y agoProbably the most likely answer. But I would also assume that X has some safe-guards for this, when it comes to popular/trending accounts. No doubt it is just a temp suspension until some human has looked at the case, but still - this came JUST after she had a public speech, and is talking against the Russian regime.
