Wanted to see for myself what would happen if I try to tweet this.

2. I successfully tweeted a link to the Unity2020 website at 8:46pm EDT.

(Please note this is not an endorsement. I wanted to see for myself if Twitter would block me sending the tweet.)

3. I’m being told by a few people that if they are viewing tweet #2 in this thread they are getting a message that tweet #1 is unavailable. I’m not able to see this error message.

Going to try retweeting. This is tweet #1:

4. This is what I see. I have tweeted all of these tweets from TweetDeck on my MacBook Air. I’m also able to view my own tweets on my iPhone. My account is not currently restricted.

5. So, I haven’t been tweeting for the past few minutes because Twitter locked me out of my account and forced me to change my password while tweeting this thread and replying to people due to “unusual activity on your account". This is the first time I’ve ever had this happen.

6. It took me a while to get back in because I was documenting and also because I’m logged in via TweetDeck, browser, and phone and didn’t realize at first that I was being sent 3 different codes for 2-factor authentication and needed to input the correct code into each.

7. So I tried to enter the code for TweetDeck into browser and was initially denied. That’s when I realized I had a 2nd code for browser.

8. I need to go eat dinner but I’ll catch up with replies in a bit, assuming Twitter doesn’t lock me out again.

9. Back from dinner. https://twitter.com/keikoinboston/status/1299895631062994946

10. Update:

I’ve gotten a couple of reports from people including a US user that this thread is now fully visible.

I was planning to speculate on what might have happened but I think I’m too tired to write coherently tonight.

11. @ArticlesofUnity account has been restored after what looked like a permanent suspension. This must have been recent. Last archive of suspended account I found was 4 hours ago. No followers but...

12. … it’s my understanding that can take up to 24 hours to repopulate. No tweets either.

13. Account was at ~25K followers as of 8/27/20.

14. Okay, apparently the ArticlesOfUnity account is not restored. I have no idea what’s going on. A few minutes ago I could see it in TweetDeck and Chrome. Now I’m briefly getting the “Account suspended” error before a blank page loads.

15. Actually, I can still access the ArticlesofUnity profile in TweetDeck but no tweets.

I have no idea what’s going on. Will check back tomorrow.

16. WTF is happening??

17. Not that it should matter but I replicated this when going to https://twitter.com/  ArticlesOfUnity and articlesofunity.

18. Just checked http://shadowban.eu . It’s still showing ArticlesOfUnity as suspended. https://shadowban.eu/articlesofunity

19. Geez, what is happening. I just had an exchange with one of my followers who saw this thread & tweeted the articlesofunity website. I’ve interacted with them since Jan 2019 & have no reason to believe they are a foreign influence account. Their account is now gone.
