All users can now request reinstatement of suspended accounts on Twitter

Elon Musk-run Twitter on Thursday announced that anyone can now appeal their account suspension.

The move is part of the announcement last week that Twitter will take “less severe actions” against user accounts that break its rules, asking them to remove controversial tweets and move on.

“Starting today, anyone can request that we review a suspended account for reinstatement under our new criteria,” said Twitter.

“We appreciate your patience as we work through a high volume of these requests,” it added.

Reinstated accounts, like all accounts on Twitter, still need to follow Twitter rules.
