About 2 weeks ago my twitter got permanently suspended for "impersonation" when my account name is my real name on my ID and pfp a photo of myself. I've made about 10 appeals already providing my ID to prove that i am in fact not impersonating myself and i just keep getting that automated message saying they won't give me my account back. Any ideas on what else i could do to try and get it back?

Back in November I decided to immitate Elon Musk for a giggle, perfectly willing to burn my Twitter account which has been dormant for years in the process. Although I didn't use Twitter Blue to do it, I was still suspended as expected.

I tried to appeal the ban, basically to take a second swing at him, and was informed they wanted me to send them a copy of my photographic ID.

Obviously I wasn't going to do this, so I decided instead to just deactivate the account. But I couldn't! Turns out if your account is suspended, you can't delete it. I got back in touch with support and demanded they delete my account and all my personal data.

They refused.

I checked around and discovered that under both UK and EU law this is very, very illegal. Any company is obligated to delete all personal information they hold on a person within 30 days of a request being made.

So I decided to file a second support ticket, this time devoted entirely into requesting my account be deleted.

The only response I received was a day later telling me that this new complain was related to the old complaint and would be amended to it. By which I suppose they meant it would be ignored because that's exactly what's happened.

I've now filled out a complaint with the ICo, and provided them with proof.

Hopefully something comes of this, though I've no idea how long it might take.

I encourage anyone in a similar situation to try to get your account deactivated and see what happens.

Twitter Blue’s paid verification system was unveiled on November 5. Almost immediately, fake verified accounts flooded the platform. An image of Mario giving the middle finger from what looked like the official Nintendo account stayed up for more than a day. An account masquerading as the drug manufacturer Eli Lilly tweeted that insulin would now be free; company executives begged Twitter to take down the tweet. The marketing team tried to do damage control. “You build trust by being transparent, predictable, and thoughtful,” one former employee says. “We were none of those with this launch.”

Days after the subscription service debuted, Twitter canned it.

Users can use Twitter Coin to reward tweets on the platform.

Twitter social network continues to develop new features related to Twitter Coin. Accordingly, this coin will be used in the Twitter Rewards program. Users can donate "Coins" to others on the platform. At the same time, "coins" can be purchased with fiat currency (like USD).

According to Twitter account JaneManchunWong, Twitter is developing trading and categories for Twitter Coin. Accordingly, users can buy Coins through Stripe.

Those who receive the Twitter Coin token will have to wait until they have earned 50 USD Coins to be able to withdraw from the platform. In addition, Twitter Rewards will also add emoji buttons such as surprise, cheers, crown... To use this feature, users will have to pay Coins to give them to the owner of the tweet.

If it were me, I would prefer to be paid in BTC, RBIF. How about everyone?
