If you were suspended at 18 years old from twitter you are technically banned for the remainder of your life unless you can successfully appeal. Creating a new temporary account will eventually get you suspended again as it's against the rules and they functionally require a phone number as you quickly get flagged after a few follows. Considering twitter often makes the news it isn't reasonable to ban people from looking into what they market as the "public conversation" by blocking logged out read access.
