Currently, there are several claims about GMGN freezing, but none of them stand up or lack evidence... 1. Accounts using GMGN Official Twitter were frozen with a scraper; However, in fact, some KOLs who also use scrapers were not frozen, and not all KOLs with GMGN identification were frozen, some just lost their identification. Especially <狼仔>, who didn't even have the identification, was also frozen. So both the identification theory and scraper theory are unconvincing... 2. Involvement in a case... Some unverified messages on claim that frozen accounts were involved in using MEME coins for money laundering and were arrested in Hong Kong... This is even less credible. GMGN official staff in the group stated everything is normal, with only Twitter accounts being frozen, no other abnormalities, and they are urgently appealing. So the case involvement theory is just a rumor... 3. Spreading <泡泡马特> images Some say these frozen accounts frequently shared a Chinese homophonic meme celebrating Trump and Musk's reconciliation, thus violating X's user rules; The problem is, GMGN Official Twitter didn't post it, so this claim is also unconvincing. Moreover, more extreme images have been shared on X without any bans, which shows X has strong freedom of speech. 4. Musk being retaliated against after being splashed... I won't comment on this, it's just a joke... Summary: Currently, there's no conclusive reason, and the frozen accounts don't have completely consistent characteristics! Accounts on X are not permanently banned, users have many ways to appeal and unfreeze, though the process can be short or long... The worst-case scenario is that accounts will be successfully appealed and unfrozen within 10 days! Don't forget to celebrate by posting on Twitter after returning!

Just now there was news that the account was banned by Twitter because of the use of a crawler application. In fact, this is similar to a scraper. There is indeed such a risk of crawling a large amount of Twitter information without using the official API... However, many people have been using these tools and nothing has happened. The current situation is still very confusing~ There are so many applications linked to my Twitter account, and they are not affected, so this can actually be ruled out. Don't forget... @KaitoAI crawls a huge amount of tweets from Twitter every day. If we have to ban it first, we will ban it, hahaha😂 The only possibility at present is that these frozen accounts used a new data crawling tool tested internally by gmgn, and because they did not use X's paid API, they were frozen.

Update: Langzai's account shows that it violated the "authenticity" regulations, and it was reported! The smell of conspiracy theory is coming out... Take a quick look at X's regulations on authenticity: Platform manipulation and spam: It is prohibited to amplify or suppress content through manual means, as well as any behavior that interferes with the user experience, such as automated operations or spam. (This behavior may be reported) Civil integrity: It is prohibited to manipulate or interfere with elections or civic processes, including ways to suppress participation or mislead participation in civic processes. (Totally impossible) Misleading and deceptive identities: It is prohibited to impersonate others to mislead, confuse or deceive users, and to use false identities to interfere with the platform experience. (No possibility) Synthetic and manipulated media: It is prohibited to share deceptive synthetic or manipulated media that may cause harm, and related posts may be marked to provide context. (It is possible, and it can be connected with the bubble meme picture) Another key information is that the founder account of a16z was also frozen at the same time... There are similar cases in other English areas... I really can't guess the reason, so I give up!
