Twitter has suspended accounts of music lifestyle/news publication The Watch Sex Paradise OnlineFader along with several other music-centric blogs.
On Tuesday morning, Twitter users began posting the hashtag #FreeFader to show support for the publication and confusion about the account's absence on the social platform. As the day went on, other sites such as 2DOPEBOYZ,Hip Hop N More, andPigeons and Planes — a publication owned by Complex — also revealed their accounts had been suspended.

In a comical video tweeted from Complex’s official account when Pigeons and Planeswas suspended from Twitter back in April, writer John Walaszek, claimed the suspension was due to the fact that he "used a song in a meme without expressed written consent from a label."

After the latest suspension, fans of The Faderwere hashtagging away in an effort to get the site's account unblocked, sharing what they love about the publication and questioning how other, more offensive users still remain free to tweet.

The sites aren't the first to be shut down for copyright-related issues, if that is indeed the reason they were shut down. Back in 2015, Twitter suspended accounts for sports publications like Deadspin and SBNation for copyright violations, and again in 2017 for sharing NFL GIFs. Both accounts have since been restored.
More recently, Twitter permanently banned "pharma bro" Martin Shkreli from its site after he violated the platform's harassment policy by targeting Teen Vogue editor Lauren Duca.
Hopefully The Fader'sTwitter suspension will be temporary, but until it's back up you spend some time enjoying these old fashioned things called websites.
UPDATE: June 27, 3:53 p.m. ET
A Hip Hop N Morespokesperson sentMashable the following statement concerning the suspension:
We posted the track list for Young Thug's latest album "Beautiful Thugger Girls" and credited the source for it as well. There was no sound recording or anything of that sort in the post.
We got an email from twitter saying the tweet linking to the post was taken down due to report from GrayZone, on behalf of Atlantic Records. The same day, twitter also took down our verified account.
Mashable reached out to Twitter, The Fader, Pigeons and Planes, and 2DOPEBOYZ for comment.
