One million accounts suspended for ‘terrorism promotion’: Twitter

WASHINGTON DC: Twitter said Thursday it has suspended over one million accounts for “promotion of terrorism” since 2015, claiming its efforts have begun to make the platform “an undesirable place” to call for violence.

In its latest transparency report, Twitter said it suspended 274,460 accounts between July and December 2017 “for violations related to the promotion of terrorism.”

The figure is down 8.4% from the previous reporting period and is the second consecutive decline, a Twitter statement said.
