Twitter has banned Jesse Kelly — are they policing hate, or suppressing political ideas?

With no warning and no explanation, Twitter banned conservative radio host, writer, and retired U.S. Marine Jesse Kelly. Not suspended, but outright banned.

Unlike Twitter’s ban of alt-right figures like Laura Loomer and Baked Alaska, there’s no plausible or previous factor to explain why Twitter would ban Kelly. He’s never engaged in the targeted harassment or hate speech that Twitter’s terms of service specifically forbids. Kelly told the Washington Examiner that he’s never been so much as temporarily blocked from posting, let alone suspended.
