I’m no fan of white nationalists; and since Twitter is a private company, I support it banning whoever it wants.
The Nazis were estimated to have killed 11 million people in the 20th century.
But the communists killed 100 million people in the 20th century.
I’m curious if Twitter is going to ban those ideologies who killed ten times as many? Or are Communists just given a by?
Twitter suspended the accounts of well-known white nationalists Monday, moving swiftly after putting into place new rules on what it sees as abusive content.
The account of far-right group Britain First, a small group that regularly posts inflammatory videos purporting to show Muslims engaged in acts of violence, was among the first to go dark. The individual accounts of two of its leaders, Jayda Fransen and Paul Golding, were also suspended.
President Donald Trump caused a stir last month when he retweeted a post by Fransen, drawing criticism from British Prime Minister Theresa May. Fransen and Golding were arrested in Belfast last week for allegedly stirring up hatred.
The guidelines, announced a month ago and put into force this week, address hateful images or symbols, including those attached to user profiles.
