Twitter co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey was suspended from Twitter for a short time this week. Dorsey — who operates the account @jack — was removed from the service for reasons that weren't initially obvious, before being reinstated around 15 minutes later.
The service has been slow to suspend people for hate speech and harassment in the past, but is usually quick to remove accounts that post obscene images or videos.
Speculating entirely, it could be that Dorsey was the target of a hacking attempt, and his account was taken down to preemptively halt any kind of public performance, while Twitter worked to get it back into his hands.
Dorsey addressed his brief intermission later on, claiming that it was the result of an "internal mistake.
