Twitter handle @Bitcoin, which used to promote Bitcoin Cash (BCH), has been suspended and subsequently deleted following users' complaints, reports said.
A post on sub-Reddit /r/Bitcoin said, "Twitter has finally suspended the compromised '@Bitcoin' account."
According to Roger Ver, a crypto entrepreneur and major proponent of Bitcoin Cash, the suspension of the account is the death of free speech.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin researcher and developer David Shares tweeted directly to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey: "The @Bitcoin account has been suspended (again) by @TwitterSupport only because Core trolls constantly submit fake reports about it. @Jack why do you guys keep letting this happen? Instead of suspending all the fake scammer accounts you suspend the real ones."
Twitter's decision followed a large number of complaints from Twitter users, who could be Bitcoin supporters. Twitter users can make complaints against accounts, citing various reasons.
The Bitcoin versus Bitcoin Cash debate has been on for a long time on scaling issues on the network and how to solve them.
The latest suspension has also paved the way for a debate over Twitter's policies.
