The suspension comes as Twitter faces growing scrutiny over its moderation practices on the platform.
Twitter recently confirmed that propaganda from Chinese officials that attempts to blame the US for the coronavirus is permitted on the platform.
Official government accounts engaging in conversation about the origins of the virus and global public conversation about potential emergent treatments will be permitted, unless the content contains clear incitement to take a harmful physical action.
Yet while it takes a hands-off approach to this pro-China propaganda, Twitter has been blocking some links to coronavirus articles and warning users that they may be forced to remove some coronavirus jokes.
Update – March 24, 2019: Breaking911's Twitter account has been restored.
