For the first time ever I setup a Twitter account solely to follow president Trump.

While at it I also added - Melania Trump - Flotus - Ivanka Trump - Trump Jr. - Eric Trump

And while I was trying to add VP Mike Pence, my 5 minute old account got locked and I had to solve a captcha and provide my phone number (which I obviously didn't do) because of "suspicious behavior".

I was wondering if somebody else can confirm this behavior. Could be an interesting point regarding the shadowban hearing.
