The original topic & issue was this:

Today I received the following email from Twitter:

Application suspension notice

Hello,

Does anyone know what this is about?

+++ Update +++
Looks like a widespread problem.

There is some discussion about this in the topic @Jonathan5 has linked so I’ll close this one off so we can focus the conversation there. :+1:
