Late Friday night, the Twitter account of conservative blogger Robert Stacy McCain (@RSMcCain) was suspended, and #FreeStacy soon was trending.
Now, McCain’s book promo account has also been suspended:
And now McCain's other account, @SexTroubleBook, is suspended too. $TWTR digging deeper. #FreeStacy

What’s going on?

Has Twitter given any reason yet why they banned McCain? https://t.co/0UHjU1gFLu

Before it was suspended, McCain tweeted on his backup account that there “has been no explanation” for the suspension of his main account.
Not a sock puppet. Longstanding book promo account. https://t.co/54cD2A9EYT

@instapundit shocking that Twitter does this without telling the "offender" what rule they think he/she has broken.

FFS, what is Twitter playing at?!
This medium is wiping it's arse on its own credibility. https://t.co/m4Po6fN6lI— Rob Gosnell (@GosnellRob) February 22, 2016
This is getting ridiculous, Twitter. What about us little people that don't have armies prepared to defend? Nervous. https://t.co/SxrG9g98Bt

@instapundit @SexTroubleBook Considering this is an election year, how far can this go before it becomes a partisan FEC violation?

Just a couple of weeks ago, Twitter introduced its “Trust & Safety Council.”
