Steve Bannon: Twitter permanently suspends former White House chief strategist’s account after talk of beheading

CNN  

CNN Business — Twitter permanently suspended an account belonging to former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon after he suggested Thursday morning that Dr. Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray should be beheaded. Earlier Thursday evening YouTube removed the video for violating its policy against “inciting violence.” Twitter said it had permanently suspended the account of Bannon’s “War Room” podcast for glorifying violence. Earlier on Thursday, Facebook shut down a pro-Trump group called “Stop The Steal,” which amassed hundreds of thousands of members and had been coordinating protests that sought to challenge the election’s legitimacy. One of the administrators of the “Stop the Steal” group, Dustin Stockton, told CNN he did not see any messages within the group “calling for violence outside of what is common political hyperbole.” He said Facebook’s removal of the page was “out of line and they should restore it immediately.” A Facebook spokesperson told CNN, “In line with the exceptional measures that we are taking during this period of heightened tension, we have removed the Group ‘Stop the Steal,’ which was creating real-world events.” The spokesperson added, “The group was organized around the delegitimization of the election process, and we saw worrying calls for violence from some members of the group.” Researchers say the controversy over the vote count is particularly fertile soil for extremists to spread their messages.
