The controversial rightwing commentator Katie Hopkins has had her Twitter account permanently suspended for violating the platform’s “hateful conduct” policy.
Hopkins, who has been repeatedly retweeted by the US president, Donald Trump, and had more than 1.1 million followers, was removed to “keep Twitter safe”, according to the social media platform.
The move came hours after she had complained that her blue “verified” check mark, which lets users know that an account is authentic, had been removed. A spokesperson for Twitter confirmed her removal to the Guardian.
The statement read: “Keeping Twitter safe is a top priority for us. Abuse and hateful conduct have no place on our service and we will continue to take action when our rules are broken.
“In this case, the account has been permanently suspended for violations of our hateful conduct policy.”

“Conservatives have to start their own Twitter.”
Agree. I think we should call it “Twittit”.
Any suggestions?
Far worse has been said and planned on Twitter. This is all politics.
I think that’s funny. She must have been talking about Meg’s Archie-pregnancy. It sounds like a joke fit for a Comedy Club, where you would get an immediate reaction from the audience. Poor Kate. I like much of her writing.
It’s a post worth banning over. We aren’t talking about adults who arebeing unwanted de, but children who were used by the millions.
We have one, it’s called Parler. It’s just beginning but there are already some pretty heavy hitters there.
I’ve got jokes far worse.
That is NOTHING compared to what the lefties say about POTUS, POTUS’ family, conservatives....and they’re get to stay on Twitter?
It wasn't a joke. It was an accusation that Megan was never pregnant and that she knows all about the millions of sex slaves.
Dorsey is a pice of filth.
I’m not excusing liberals and their hate, but Trump is a public figure and he’s tough as nails.
Children aren’t.
I don’t disagree with those here who see double standards.
Ah, nuts, she is good
This is corporate Marxism
So scroll on
This BLM crap is black supremacy and we have white guilt idiots who are supporting this.
Gangs of blacks in the UK and here are attacking white people just because they are white.
The media keeps calling these peaceful protests which they are not.
I have seen videos and a photo of a woman saying she wants to repeat the white extermination in Haiti
These protests keep going on and will do whilst the media supports them, people trying to become famous, and to hurt the economy
Agreed, but it wasn’t a joke. The real crime is the UK government’s refusal to address the muslim grooming problem.
Katie was spot on, and calls attention to the problem in her uniquely acerbic way.
If we had a political party we wouldn’t get treated this way by protected industries.
Because you can’t be expected to block her yourself? You need a Twitter-sitter? Got it.
I’m not excusing liberals and their hate, but Trump is a public figure and he’s tough as nails.
Children aren’t.
I don’t disagree with those here who see double standards.
Who said anything about Trump? I was referring to Katie Hopkins’ tweet, versus vile libs NOT being pulled off of Twitter, for far worse. I’m not justifying either one.
And, who here are you saying has double standards?
