The accounts of the National Policy Institute and the online magazine suspended them, as well as a publishing house run by Spencer called Washington Summit Publishers. Accounts with other alt-right generally associated accounts are also blocked.

Several twitterers think the blockages may be due to new reporting functionality that the company has added to hatred against racial, religious, gender or counter orientation. The action of Twitter is likely to reduce the power of the alt-right movement, which has made considerable use of Twitter for journalists and political pundits play to misinformation in an attempt to support the last week elected US president Donald Trump.\n  \n  \n   advertisement
