On June 24, the Shibburn Twitter account, associated with Shiba Inu (SHIB), was unexpectedly shut down.
The owners received a violation notice from Twitter’s Developer Portal, leading to the suspension. They were caught off guard and also needed help submitting a support ticket due to the unavailability of forms.
In response to the suspension, Shibburn reached out to prominent individuals like Elon Musk and Linda Yaccarino, the new CEO of Twitter, seeking help and attention.
However, as of now, neither Musk nor Yaccarino has commented on the matter. The crypto community questions the openness and fairness of Twitter’s moderation procedures following Shibburn’s suspension.
The community speculates and debates without any official justification or assistance from Twitter. Therefore, they challenge the platform’s moderation practices and demand more information about the suspension.
Therefore, the removal of Shibburn highlights the challenges faced by cryptocurrency-related accounts on social media platforms. As the Bitcoin community waits for more information and a potential resolution, discussions continue around the actions of Twitter and the need for transparency.
Elon Musk’s comment labeling it as a “scam” led to the recent suspension of the well-known “Explain this Bob” Twitter account. Twitter’s CEO believes it was a PR tool created by Prabhu Biswal to promote and raise the price of memecoin BOB.
This led to outrage among cryptocurrency users, with many arguing against the platform’s decision using the hashtag “FREEBOB.” One Twitter user, Cryptoboss2000, questioned the Twitter CEO about a cryptocurrency scam they believed was happening. Some supporters of the bot’s suspension defended Musk, citing the bot’s connections to the BOB meme coin page.
