In an unprecedented move, the microblogging site, Twitter has suspended the <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/news/twitter-war-on-crypto-top-crypto-influencers-suspended/">major cryptocurrency-related accounts</a> of many supporters and influencers, including several big wheels in the crypto space. The social media platform did not give any public explanation as to what led to the abrupt suspension and the restoration of the said accounts.
<h2><strong>Twitter Suspends Crypto Influencers Accounts</strong></h2>
On March 10, Bitcoin podcaster Peter McCormack tweeted that at least seven crypto-related accounts have been recently suspended by the social media site.

The social media profiles became inaccessible, as some users noticed the suspension around the early hours of March 10.

The suspended accounts include some of the most popular crypto figures including on-chain analyst Willy Woo, creator of the Bitcoin stock-to-flow model PlanB, crypto advocate TheCryptoDog, as well as the crypto proponent and trader Carl ‘The Moon’ Runefelt.

Other crypto-related accounts include MMCrypto, Koroush AK, and the self-proclaimed WSB Chairman.

As a precaution against the mass suspensions, other major crypto influencers have turned their account settings to private.
<h2> Increased Account Suspension Mistakes</h2>
In response to the mass suspension, Twitter Support notified that the platform has been experiencing increasing accounts suspensions mistakenly.

This isn’t the first time, a centralized social platform has censored crypto-related accounts for no apparent reason. Last year, <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/youtube-restore-deleted-crypto-channels-and-videos/">YouTube</a> too did the same thing with its mass suspension of accounts related to <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/youtube-removes-cryptocurrency-videos-citing-harmful-or-dangerous-content/">cryptocurrency contents</a>.

The latest move comes as a surprise as Jack Dorsey, <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/jack-dorsey-speaks-positively-about-bitcoin-in-recent-interview/">the CEO of Twitter</a> is well-known for being an ardent supporter of Bitcoin and Decentralized Blockchain services.

Meanwhile, at the time of writing, PlanB’s account and Willy Woo’s account have been restored.

Despite a brief suspension of PlanB, the social media site did not take down some of the prominent crypto influencers' impersonators. For instance, some of the fake PlanB accounts like 100TrillionUSDT and 100TrillionUSDD were not suspended.
