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.”

There is Gab.
However, if Twitter wants to regulate content then they need to be trust-busted.
They are a de factor monopoly.
Bust the leftist trusts!
AND Facebook! AND Google!
Twitter is really bad, which is why I don’t have an account and don’t do social media. At all. I only post here, thanks to JR and his sensibilities.
Here’s the President’s twitter a page, which is genius:
Bookmark it or have it appear automatically on your opening tabs on Firefox or Brave: (As I do)

Another person who is “controversial”. What an execrable pack of deranged fiends that now lead the West.
I am afraid that normal citizens are going to have to rise up and clean house to rid us of these insane fools.
jeep it up twitter- regulations are coming-
I’m not into censorship, but...
*******************************
Enough said.
This is about Katie getting publicity and intentionally antagonizing Twitter for her own self promotion.
Surely you're not falling for her schtick.
It exists and is called Gab.
As the election campaign goes into full swing, the media steps up censorship of truth.
Trump needs to step up and start a version of Twitter for those of us that enjoy free speech.
If he did that, people would leave Twitter in droves
This is a great question. Are all these “policies” explicitly listed somewhere? Do they name the creators of the “policies”? Can they point to the specific element of the “policy” that was violated and show how ALL approved accounts don’t violate them?
Or are they just making it up as they go?
Thought so.
Easiest way to reign in Big Tech? Remove the Indian H1Bs from the various big tech companies.
More and more big tech companies are totally Indian-run. Time for a ban based on foreign ownership and national security.
censorship of the right/conservatism on sh1tter continues
There are enough qualified software engineers on Free Republic to build it. Problem is funding...
Weenies. Scared of a woman.
Parler is a new conservative start up.
I don’t care anymore about Twitter being a private business. Can Trump revoke their business license?
LOL. Google isn't stopping them from having unmoderated comment sections.
They and their readers can speak as freely as they like.
You apparently think advertisers should be forced to run ads there no matter how offensive they, or their customers, find the content.
