Twitter’s new head of Trust and Safety has announced that a “general amnesty” review of suspended user accounts will be completed within around 30 days, with the announcement coming around a month after Twitter CEO Elon Musk pledged to start reinstating banned accounts that hadn’t broken the law or engaged in “egregious spam.”

Ella Irwin, who took over from Twitter’s former Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth after he left the company, gave the update in response to a thread that claimed some Twitter accounts were being locked out simply for “tweeting official government crime stats.”
