Twitter Reinstates Account Of London Independent's Guy Adams

The London Independent's Guy Adams had his Twitter account reinstated today and promptly tweeted, "Oh. My Twitter account appears to have been un-suspended. Did I miss much while I was away?" (THE DAILY).

Adams also posted a story on the INDEPENDENT's website, writing, "Even now that my account has been re-activated, all I got was a four-sentence email from Twitter’s ‘Trust and Safety’ department telling me the initial complaint had been retracted. ... At that time while the storm of publicity was at its height, they simply wouldn’t return emails or calls. ... I’d also like to ask how Twitter responds to widespread allegations that its decision to suspend my account was improperly influenced by its relationship with a commercial partner" (INDEPENDENT.co.uk, 7/31).
