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.

Johnny Cash sang a great version of “I’m goin’ down to Memphis!”
Maybe somebody decided Johnny Cash was suddenly ‘offensive’ in some way.

The FBI/KGB is rounding up the Memphis deplorables for the death camps and they want it kept quiet, would be my guess.

Oh no!
Because Twitter is important!
And Memphis deserves to be a real place... or something.
Don’t let Twitter destroy Memphis!

Just another error. It’s amazing why Jack tolerates such incompetence. It happens time and time again but Jack must be having some type of relation with the incompetent programmers to keep them on board. I guess Jack is too stupid to realize people are laughing at him and not with him.

There you go!
Expect the corporate puppets of Amazon and Ebay
to IMMEDIATELY cancel any sales of Johnny Cash merchandise.
They would do so without giving it a second thought, or any thought at all.

Deleted Twitter on January 20th along with Facebook. Haven’t missed it one bit. I do tend to keep lurking here and refreshing the page for new articles though. IT seems since the last reboot on FR,the articles load in batches unlike before. I get the article post times which are at different times but they’ll all come at once instead of one at a time like before. Wonder if it’s my phone.
