The Cat and Mouse game continues. They already had a backup account ready: https://twitter.com/YANBackUp

So the backup account is hosted on the same service as the primary account? What could possibly go wrong?

What's the reason for this? Please don't tell me "propaganda", because then anyone who speaks against the government can be censored in that way.

Formally, it could be suspended for violation of any of these rules:

Though, the TOS has a leeway:

We reserve the right at all times (but will not have an obligation) to remove or refuse to distribute any Content on the Services, to suspend or terminate users, and to reclaim usernames without liability to you.

Which, if I read this correctly, allows Twitter to suspend an account for whatever reason.
