WHO HAS TWITTER BANNED IN ITS PAST?
Twitter stated in November 2017 that they would ban all accounts belonging to hate groups.
Tommy Robinson, an ex-leader of the English Defence League, was suspended in March after he violated hate speech regulations
After years of user criticism, the news was announced following the release by Google that allowed white supremacists and neo Nazis to distribute abusive messages on their site.
Twitter banned several members of Britain First’s far-right group in December 2017, for violating its hate speech rules.
In March 2018, former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson was banned for violating rules governing ‘hateful conduct’.
In May, the site stated that it was going to take stronger steps against online trolling.
Although the site is banned, it has been criticised for not taking enough steps to eliminate abusive users.
Actor Seth Rogan lashed at Jack Dorsey, Twitter CEO, for not stopping verifying accounts belonging to white supremacists in July 2018.
He tweeted: ‘I’ve been DMing with @Jack about his bizarre need to verify white supremacists on his platform for the last 8 months or so, and after all the exchanges, I’ve reached a conclusion: the dude simply does not seem to give a f**k.’
