Election Interference? Twitter Bans Tommy Robinson’s Campaign Account
Twitter has suspended the campaign account for citizen journalist Tommy Robinson’s independent bid for European Parliament.
While Robinson himself is banned from Twitter, the campaign account stated clearly that it was not run by the political hopeful personally.

The account had been flagged by a Muslim organization called Tell MAMA UK, whose website says that their aim is “tackling anti-Muslim hatred” and working with Central Government “to raise the issues of anti-Muslim hatred at a policy level.” They boast that their work “helps to shape and inform policy makers.”
.@Twitter: This is a violation of your platform. Given that UK politicians have put social media companies on notice, you need to act on this flagrant bypassing of your own terms & conditions: https://t.co/76VqREiW11
