I sent to the Twitter Help Center my vision of a problem:
This morning I received the following idiotic message:
"Your account appears to have exhibited automated behaviour that violates the Twitter Rules. To unlock your account, please complete the steps below and confirm that you are the valid account owner."

This really reminded me about the message in Russian social networks, which extorted the phone numbers of users on the criminal orders of their government

I never acted as a robot, always wrote posts by myself, in human language, only I use a public VPN

I was registered in 2009 and treated 6 years without pointing my mobile number and now I do not give it by principle

You may delete my account, I shall perfectly do without Twitter, this just release my time and have a positive impact on life of the batteries on my mobile devices

Invent something smarter as a pretext for extorting mobile numbers
