Twitter will start suspending accounts linking to “prohibited platforms” such as Facebook and Instagram if those accounts are “used for the main purpose of promoting content on another social platform,” the Elon Musk-owned company announced Sunday.
Twitter said a first violation of this policy may range from requiring deletion of a tweet to temporarily locking an account. An account may be suspended if the violation is in the bio or account name, the company said. Subsequent breaches of the policy could lead to permanent suspension.
This is a developing story that will be updated. Faiz Siddiqui and Cat Zakrzewski contributed to this report.
