Twitter on Wednesday briefly suspended the account of a Chinese-born billionaire who was using the social media service to publicize allegations of corruption against top Communist Party officials. China, where Twitter has a minimal presence and is blocked by the authorities, considers Mr. Guo to be a criminal. Mr. Guo’s account was apparently suspended for about four hours before it was restored after inquiries from members of the news media. In recent days, Mr. Guo had posted two screenshots that contained the Chinese national identification numbers of several people. When his account was restored, those screenshots had been removed.
