Twitter account locked - what to do?

If your Twitter account is blocked, there can be several reasons. Either you violated the guidelines or Twitter blocks your account as a security measure. We'll show you how to do it.

Twitter account blocked - your options

You can recognize a lock by the fact that a warning message appears when you try to log in. You must then differentiate between the following cases:

• If your account is blocked only for a check, it is usually sufficient to re-enter your cell phone number or to verify your email account. In both cases, a code will be sent to you, which you must then enter on Twitter. If this query is successful, Twitter will immediately activate your account again.
• It gets a little more complicated if you violate the Twitter guidelines. Only one objection helps here. Twitter provides a special form for these cases.
• Before you open the objection form, you must log in with the blocked Twitter account. Describe your problem there and provide the requested information. Once you've submitted the ticket, all you can do is hope that Twitter will accept your request.
• If you have only allowed yourself a slight violation, you have a good chance that the block will be lifted. In the event of serious violations, you often only have to register again on Twitter.
