The official Arbitrum Twitter account was suddenly frozen. At the time of publication, the reasons for the blocking remain unclear. Harry Kalodner, co-founder of the company behind the project, Offchain Labs, confirmed the suspension of the account and said the Arbitrum Foundation was conducting its own investigation.
The blocking came less than a week after the highly publicized airdrop of Arbitrum's governance token. Perhaps it was caused by an increase in the number of scammers who used fake accounts and complex phishing schemes to steal ARB. Many of these scam accounts are still active and are ignored by Twitter.
The developer of L2-blockchain Scroll Togrkhul Mahararramov was outraged by the fact of blocking, urged Twitter to pay attention to scammers and called the social network “consistently terrible.”
