Twitter is cracking down on accounts promoting terrorism and violence, bringing the grand total suspended since 2015 to 360,000.
And no, they’re not just banning conservatives.

True, free speech can get sorta messy and definitely isn’t always nice.
Share price will fall now due to less users. LOL!
