People are having their Twitter accounts automatically suspended for tweeting the word 'Memphis'.

Dozens of users have reported having their posts almost immediately removed and their accounts blocked for sharing the word.

And it appears that those who have dared to tweet the name have received a message informing them they have been locked out for 12 hours.

Where Memphis' name had been, it now reads: "This tweet violated the Twitter rules."

It's not quite clear why it is going on, and Twitter are yet to comment on the bizarre happening.

So let me figure this out - Memphis is some kind of cue to something. But what?

Dale Watson - he is the greatest thing going. He bought Hernando’s Hideaway in Memphis and has converted it into an awesome venue. Really he is the only one doing anything these days. His chicken shit bingo is the funniest thing you will ever experience in your lifetime. And when the can’t go anywhere you need to know this. JUst don’t forget MEMPHIS!!!!

The shooting you’re talking about was in Nashville, not Memphis

What about the famous WW2 B-17 Bomber ‘Memphis Belle’s?

Twitter says it’s a bug, not a feature:

A number of accounts that Tweeted the word “Memphis” were temporarily limited due to a bug. It’s been fixed and the accounts have now been restored. We’re sorry this happened.— Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) March 14, 2021

Thank you, southwest Memphis. Keep resisting and keep pressuring your local officials. Soon we will win the fight against the #ByhaliaPipeline. pic.twitter.com/GRTBjbVPRU— Al Gore (@algore) March 15, 2021

Memphis was also the name of an ancient Egyptian city, which had slavery back then.

Perhaps Twitter opposes slavery?

“I suspended Twitter permanently by never using it.”

Same here. It is full of vulgar left wingnuts. Vulgarity doesn’t get you suspended. Being on the wrong side of an issue does. I would be embarrassed to be in such a closed minded group of clowns.
