Frequently asked questions we encounter
Scenario 1: Misjudgment of violations leads to account freeze

Solution:
- accessTwitter complaint page
- Select "Account Freeze Appeal" and fill in the registered email/mobile phone number
- Upload identity document (must be consistent with registration information)
- Supplementary explanation: It is recommended to emphasize "not operated by me" or "reason for IP change"
Tool recommendations:
- LIKE.TG Residential Proxy IP:Dynamic IP that reduces risk control probability
- Number detection service: Confirm whether the registration number is valid
Optimization tips:
✓ Use the device environment used during registration when making an appeal
✓ Attach historical login IP records (such as AWS/GCP server logs)
✓ Avoid using sensitive words such as “account maintenance” and “volume brushing”
