Saturday night, Live Action president and founder Lila Rose’s Twitter account simply disappeared from the platform without immediate explanation. It was restored on Sunday in the morning hours sometime before 6:52 a.m. EST, however, a reason for the deactivation has yet to be given by Twitter. Rose wrote, “So it seems the suspension/deletion was intentional although it’s odd they never emailed me in the first place saying I was suspended or why?”
UPDATE: Twitter sent me an email saying that “we have unsuspended your account as it does not appear to be in violation of the Twitter rules.” So it seems suspension/deletion was intentional although it’s odd they never emailed me in the first place saying I was suspended or why?… https://t.co/pOtHmGe0ac

Several users have tweeted about the disappearance of the account — including The Babylon Bee CEO, Seth Dillon — tagging Elon Musk and seeking answers. Some users pointed out that it does not appear Rose’s account was merely suspended. The page reads, “does not exist.”
Not just suspended says, "does not exist".

The last tweets Rose sent out prior to the deactivation of her account announced breaking news about Walgreen’s decision to not dispense the abortion pill in 20 pro-life states after 20 attorneys general informed the retail pharmacy chain that doing so would be illegal. Rose also tweeted, “Intelligence doesn’t equal wisdom. Talent isn’t always used to sincerely seek truth. Some of the brightest minds fool themselves and tell the biggest lies. The disposition of the heart is far more important than the faculties of the mind.”
At the time the account was deactivated, Rose had more than 318,000 followers.
