Vickie Wang, a freelance writer and stand-up comedian in Taipei who had been retweeting videos and photos of protests, along with images of cats, to her roughly 500 followers, said her account was suspended Wednesday.
Twitter said in a message to her that the platform can’t be used “in a manner intended to artificially amplify or suppress information or engage in behavior that manipulates or disrupts people’s experience on Twitter.”
“I’ve read through the entire page about spam and platform manipulation and I’ve done none of those things,” said Ms. Wang.
Another Twitter user reported her account was also suspended for the same reason, saying she didn’t know what she had done to trigger the ban.
Twitter didn’t respond to questions about the suspensions. Both Ms. Wang’s and the other user’s accounts were reinstated Wednesday shortly after The Wall Street Journal inquired about them.
