as i found in internet, "In a Twitter-based continuation of the Bitcoin (BTC) vs Bitcoin Cash (BCH) debate, the BCH-promoting Twitter handle, @Bitcoin, has been suspended by Twitter, seemingly due to a large number of complaints from Twitter users – likely Bitcoin supporters."

Twitter could have suspended or suspended Bitcoin's account on its social media network, maybe if it violates the established rules. In addition, the number of spam accounts are also considered harmful to other Twitter users. I think Smiley

Adios Rog!

As he's the single most divisive figure in all of crypto, he won't be missed.

It's been reinstated - apparently it got shut down because it got hacked:

Twitter suspended the @Bitcoin Twitter account, which is run by an anonymous user, over the weekend. The account was briefly taken over by a user who claimed to be Turkish, then by a user who claimed to be Russian, before apparently being restored to its previous owner Monday afternoon.

“We do not comment on individual accounts so nothing to share,” a Twitter spokesperson said when asked about the suspension. “That’s some bullshit if you ask me,” the user behind @Bitcoin tweeted. “I’d like to know why my account was given to someone else, and then when it’s reinstated I’m missing 750,000 of my followers.”

The @Bitcoin account had more than 821,000 followers when it was suspended. Those followers disappeared, but it appears that Twitter is slowly restoring them.

Finally, Rodger is taking a good rest and we are not being annoyed. Thanks to What's on Crypto for sharing this amazing news for Bitcoin fans


Twitter has suspended @Bitcoin account for violating its rules (perhaps: trademark abuse, impersonation, etc.) reports https://t.me/whatsoncrypto


Twitter, Facebook, Google and other social media seem to trying to ban Bitcoin. They ban advertisements that related to cryptocurrency.
This might effect on Bitcoin price.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.
Looks like that in these days a lot of accounts related to cryptocurrencies and ICOs have been banned on Twitter, this is not actually a good news, it's a kind of censorship.
Can you give some sources where crypto-related accounts on twitter have been banned? Suspension of account/s is different from banning them. And @bitcoin is now back but beware there is the same username giving free btc, just ignored them or be scammed.
I don't have any source but it's something we're discussing on the Italian subforum and also on some Italian Telegram chats, some people got their accounts blocked/banned. Also an Italian Twitter profile of crypto news has been banned, they've been trying to contact Twitter for days but until now they got no answer. And I repeat, it was all about crypto news, nothing else.
I didn't see any news/article about that this if its true, except for the @bitcoin twitter account that has previously suspended.

If it's legit then coindesk, cointelegraph, and the twitter handle of bitcoin.com that is owned by Ver and some crypto-related site that has hundreds of thousands of followers of their twitter handle are affected because of this.  Undecided

Roger Ver is a scumbag, never trust that sneaky snake!

as I said I will not take "Ad hominem" path ... My interest is only regards to Twitter Inc. and their relationship with their costumers.

ps-> btw.. I had to google "who is Roger Ver" .. and I end up at Wikipedia page ...

This is very unfortunate. This is targeted attach on Bitcoin, more importantly on free speech. This is bad from Twitter. I just hope price bounce back soon. Good luck everyone. Thanks for sharing the info.

it depends on why they banned that account. i seriously doubt they just banned it because of what it was posting, they don't care about that. but they may have banned it because it was a stolen/hacked account.

also as for "free speech", if that is what you think is free speech then we should created a @BitcoinCash account and post 30 tweets per day saying bitcoin cash is a scam and will steal your money. how does that sound?

I will stick to the agreement terms of service between twitter and users ....

if an account is closed and/or suspend ..twitter must to give plausible reasons and cite specifically witch article of TOS was violated.

Quote
A legitimate terms-of-service agreement is legally binding and may be subject to change.[2] Companies can enforce the terms by refusing service. Customers can enforce by filing a suit or arbitration case if they can show they were actually harmed by a breach of the terms. There is a heightened risk of data going astray during corporate changes, including mergers, divestitures, buyouts, downsizing, etc., when data can be transferred improperly.

 he's not Bitcoin and shouldn't be saying that he is through his Bitcoin Cash shit. Though, he is being censored for his views on bitcoin -- at least this is what I got from it -- if someone else could find a reason from twitter then I'd have to reevaluate my view here.

Lets see folks!

Why'd you say that he is being censored for his views on bitcoin? He is still free to carry his "babies dying" and "I am the first investor in the world to invest in bitcoin" megaphone around.
The @bitcoin twitter handle wasn't meant for him to use for covertly attacking bitcoin and promoting BCash. Same for bitcoin.com.

If this wasn't crypto and if bitcoin actually was a company, he would have been sued by now for misrepresenting another trademark. He knows that such a thing cannot happen but someone had to stop him from this underhanded, unethical practice.

I am glad that twitter did it. Either due to complaints from the bitcoin community or due to their own policy.

I noticed the suspend just yesterday 10 hours ago from the statement of ver on  twitter

I've noticed OP is posting a lot of topics just to advertise his/her telegram group.
It's called promotion/marketing to get more followers  Cheesy

Pretty crazy to see this actually happen, I didn't think twitter would ever go ahead in removing Ver from the space which he has had such a holdover on twitter. Though I do have to say, in one way I agree with the ban -- he's not Bitcoin and shouldn't be saying that he is through his Bitcoin Cash shit. Though, he is being censored for his views on bitcoin -- at least this is what I got from it -- if someone else could find a reason from twitter then I'd have to reevaluate my view here.

Next time, I recommend you research before posting because it's clear you don't have a clue what you're saying.

The @Bitcoin Twitter account was under the control of Roger Ver. The same Roger Ver that created Bitcoin Cash. In the past few months, the @Bitcoin Twitter handle has been tweeting statements/articles supoorting Bitcoin Cash, and going against Bitcoin. You can look up an archive of their tweets to see what I mean.

In additition, the account was reinstated earlier today, although it is rumoured Roger Ver no longer controls the account.

Many people believe that bitcoin.com and the @bitcoin twitter are officially pages for Bitcoin. The truth is they are/were BOTH owned by Roger Ver. I am not part of the Bitcoin/Bitcoin Cash debate but even I can recognize that the bitcoin.com website and @Bitcoin were clearly biased towards Bitcoin Cash.


In addition to this I think they are going to get all serious when the price of bitcoins is already this low..
You know what they say about stomping on the enemy when he is already down ?
I do think that they are trying to kill the bitcoins once and for all.

They just want the Bitcoin cash to spurge about bitcoins this year so that their own investments could bring good rewards .

I think the suspension is not really a problem for bitcoin, bitcoin will always evolve and advance for a better future, that's the best.

Bitcoin has not had an official management team, Bitcoin hasn't any twitter account. So, If you are talking about Roger Ver's @Bitcoin account then that twitter handle was for supporting bitcoin cash not worthy for bitcoin. This News will not affect on Bitcoin  Grin And, Thanks for the news, Mate.

Only by making a good management system, the blockchain technology can truly bring unlimited benefits to mankind.

Twitter abused its rights and banned the free speech of digital encryption.
