Katie Hopkins permanently removed from Twitter
The Guardian via MSN ^ | June 19, 2020 | Nicola Slawson and Jim Waterson

Posted on 06/19/2020 11:37:15 AM PDT by Stravinsky

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.”

Well deserved. She made a joke about Megan Markel getting pregnant faster than an 11 year old Rotherham child.

What is your hateful conduct policy, twitter? Oh. Right. Hateful conduct against President Trump is okay. Any conduct in favor of President Trump is considered hateful and is therefore not okay.

Why is that deserved? It’s tough, but not at all unfair or hateful.

Twitter is decidedly unsafe.

Children that were groomed by the million Tobe sex slaves should not be joked about.

I have seen posts such as someone calling for the gallows to be set up in the White House lawns and every white person then hanged. Once done they then start hanging all white people in the country, and twitter said it did not go against their rules!!!

Is there no other outlet like twitter where conservatives can get their message out?

I’m not into censorship, but joking about children who forced to sex with dozens of men every night is not the least bit funny in my books.

Is that worse than wanting to inject the POTUS with a syringe full of air? As I understand it that post is alive and well.

Gab and Mewe are alternatives worth looking at.

The anti-white racism is all over Twitter. And, of course, during the riots, people were literally supporting and planning violence using the site/service. But that’s just fine with Twitter. Their revolution is all that matters to them.

You know damn well that's not why she was banned.

I’m not excusing hateful posts to the President, but we should have level of decency towards children
