Twitter has suspended 235,000 accounts associated with “terrorism” since February, as part of its ongoing effort to prevent the Islamic State and other groups from using the platform.
“While our work is not done, today we are announcing that we have suspended an additional 235,000 accounts for violating our policies related to promotion of terrorism in the six months since our February 2016 post,” the company said Thursday. “This brings our overall number of suspensions to 360,000 since the middle of 2015.”
