Many Twitter users expressed shock and confusion at the suspension of Breaking911 and don't know why the account was purged.

According to the co-founder of Breaking911, the account has been suspended for “reasons that are unclear at the moment” and the Breaking911 team is working to get the account restored.

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.

Yet while it takes a hands-off approach to this pro- 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.
