   I sent 1 (one) direct message on #Twitter. and it instantly blocked my account.

   No, the content wasn't anything out of the ordinary and there weren't keywords that would trigger regular spam / abuse filters.

   Has this ever happened to you?

     @codewiz This happens to me on almost any big tech company platform with brand new account. Maybe because I have a weird IP address. Maybe because I'm privacy conscious and I set my browser settings accordingly. Maybe because I don't like joining accounts and reusing phone numbers.

     @heluecht Yeah, that worked... but it lost my DM so I had to retype it.

     @codewiz That is just some bad coding. Your account isn't locked, but you have to solve this "challenge" to be able to write a DM. Just click on "start" and continue.
