The widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was temporarily suspended from X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday after announcing she would continue her dead husbands fight against Vladimir Putins authoritarian government. Since Navalnys death on Friday, Yulia Navalnaya has led a public campaign to pressure the Russian government for the return of her husbands body, and for cooperation from the international community in holding the Putin government accountable for his death. Russian authorities claim the imprisoned dissident died after a sudden collapse on Friday while serving a 19-year sentence at a prison in Western Siberia. Navalnaya created an X account on Monday, and posted a video accusing the Kremlin of keeping Navalnys body in order to hide traces of poisonous substances that may have been used to engineer his death. They are hiding his body not showing or giving it to his mother and they lie. Waiting for the traces of Putins latest Novichok to disappear, she said in the video.

Her account was suspended Tuesday after posting a video of Navalnys mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, demanding her sons body be returned to the family. Im reaching out to you, Vladimir Putin. The resolution of this matter depends solely on you. Let me finally see my son. I demand that Alexeis body is released immediately so that I can bury him like a human being, she said, according to a translation from The Guardian. During the suspension, Navalnaya wrote on Telegram that she had been shadow banned Twitter has imposed restrictions on my account, which I opened yesterday, Navalnaya wrote on Telegram. Twitter representatives did not comment on what this was about, she added, noting that followers also reported being unable to find her in searches. Navalnayas account was restored after several hours. X claimed on Tuesday that her account was mistakenly flagged by the platforms mechanism against manipulation and spam.

Likely mass reported by Russian bots.

There is probably more people on Twitter. Kind of like how Reddit has all those celebs doing AMAs. Celebs aren't coming to gamefaqs to do an AMA not that many people to promote their projects or even ask questions lol.

So much for Free Speech!

A pipe dream unless Twitter actually goes completely kaput one day, mostly cuz

1. Those other two sites aren't as well known
2. and because of 1, they don't have the numbers or immediate reach of audience that Twitter built up.

Free Speech absolutist Elon Musk
