What happens if I violate this policy?
The consequences of violating this policy depend on the severity of the violation and also on your history of prior violations. The action we take depends on the type of disturbing activity we detect. The actions we take include the following:
Challenges of combating spam accounts
When we detect suspicious levels of activity, the account is closed and required to provide additional information (such as phone number) or resolve a reCAPTCHA challenge.
Put URLs on the reject list
We put URLs that we believe are unsafe on a reject list or issue warnings about them. Read more about unsafe links, including how to file an appeal if we mistakenly consider your URL to be unsafe.
Delete tweets and temporarily close the account
If a platform tampering or spam violation is an isolated or first offense, we may take a number of actions ranging from requiring the deletion of one or more Tweets to temporarily terminating the account(s). Any repeated violations of platform manipulation may result in permanent account suspension.
If there is a violation involving the use of multiple accounts, you may be asked to choose one account to maintain. The rest of the accounts will be permanently suspended.
If we believe you are violating our fake account policy, we may ask you to provide government-issued identification (such as a driver's license or passport) to reinstate your account.
Permanent suspension
