Twitter Suspends Arbitrum Account ‘By Mistake’ as Spammers Roam Platform

Twitter reinstated the Ethereum rollup platform's account hours after the incident.

Arbitrum’s Twitter account was suspended on Monday due to a reported error in its account.

Twitter reinstated the Ethereum rollup platform’s account hours after the incident.

A representative of the Arbitrum Foundation said that Twitter Support told him that there were “systems that find and remove multiple automated spam in bulk.”

The company’s account had been “flagged as spam by mistake.”

The news comes just a week after Arbitrum rolled out its novel governance token. Cybercriminals used spoofing tactics to phish for investors funds amid the token launch.

Twitter had been “consistently awful” with tackling scam accounts despite Arbitrum’s account being temporarily suspended, Scroll developer Togrhul Mahararramov said in a Twitter post.

He said: “Instead of suspending all the scam Arbitrum accounts, Twitter decided to solve the problem once and for all – suspend the actual Arbitrum account… I’ll give props to Twitter. They are consistent… consistently awful.”
