A bug on Twitter is causing users to become temporarily suspended if they tweet the word 'Memphis,' BleepingComputer has confirmed.
This bug started today after users tweeting about the Tennessee city, sports teams, or players suddenly found that they were temporarily suspended for 12 hours after Tweeting the word Memphis.
While some have said that the bug is fixed on Twitter, in a test just performed by BleepingComputer, you can see we were automatically suspended when we tweeted just the word 'Memphis.
While this may feel like Twitter trying to cancel the wonderful city of Mephis, it is likely caused by a misconfigured spam, bot, or anti-fraud filter.
BleepingComputer has contacted Twitter about this bug but has not heard back at this time.
