A thread on the suspension of @gnasherjew
I have received word from GnasherJew and it is extremely concerning, They feel that @Twitter is targeting them. Here is what I could find out so far.

30 March 2021 - @gnasherjew account was abruptly suspended with no reason. GnasherJew did not have any previous warnings against them. @Twitter did not send them any suspension notification by email.
- They filed an appeal to unsuspend the account.
- They filed an appeal to unsuspend the account.
The @Rainbow_Heartz account claimed credit alleging that @gnasherjew target harassed her "for months". This is a false claim, and it is definitely not supported by evidence or facts.
31 March 2021 - @gnasherjew account was reinstated but suspended after a short while for a second time. Again a reason for the suspension was not provided and @Twitter did not send any suspension notification to them.
- They submitted another appeal.
- They submitted another appeal.
Since then multiple appeals have been submitted and an email was sent to Head of @Policy @TwitterUK. The appeals are just being acknowledged and added to an existing case. The email was ignored.
7 April 2021 - GnasherJew has finally received an email reply from the Deputy Head of @Policy @TwitterUK saying that their account is suspended for violating the rules against evading permanent suspension.
This is very odd and raises serious questions about Twitter's integrity.

@gnasherjew account was once suspended for using the Star of David as their profile picture but Twitter reinstated their account and apologised to them.
Is the GnasherJew account suspended by accident / oversight because of this again? Doubtful. https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/twitter-account-battling-labour-anti-semitism-defiant-after-twice-being-suspended/

Why did it take @Twitter over a week to tell GnasherJew the reason for the ban? Normally, users who have been found in violation of the rules against evading permanent suspension receive a suspension notice from @TwitterSupport immediately, Gnasherjew received none.
More interesting, why was the @gnasherjew account reinstated a day after it was suspended if they were banned for "evading permanent suspension"? This just does not make sense.
GnasherJew is an anonymous account (for obvious reasons), they use a few very close friends to maintain this status and they say that none of their team was suspended by twitter previously.
Quick digging into this suggests that @Twitter might have acted on falsified and misleading information from a group of antisemites to deliberately suspended the @gnasherjew account.
@DaraNasr @delbius @katyminshall the @gnasherjew account seems to have been unjustly suspended. Many complained to you about this. Jewish users deal with the rise of antisemitic abuse as a direct consequence of you banning GnasherJew. #ReinstateGnasherJew https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/299495
