Let’s file this one below “This Would Not Have Occurred Earlier than Elon Musk.”
Twitter has banned the account of CrimethInc, a far-leftist group recognized for inciting arson and different types of political violence on the platform. The transfer comes after CEO Elon Musk started concentrating on customers who name for violent aggression.
Andy Ngo, editor-at-large for the Submit Millennial, tweeted:
Violent extremist #Antifa collective @crimethinc has been suspended in the meanwhile. The worldwide group operates like ISIS: makes propaganda & coaching materials to radicalize militants towards violence. Although the principle account was suspended, they function a dozen different accounts

This transfer is a part of Musk’s effort to reform Twitter’s content material moderation insurance policies. He beforehand indicated that eradicating baby porn being disseminated on the platform is “precedence #1.”
“Incitement to violence will end in account suspension,” the CEO stated. Different accounts had been suspended because of this.
In response, different Antifa-aligned teams threatened to hold out arson assaults on Tesla sellers.
As revenge for @elonmusk suspending violent extremist accounts on Twitter, #Antifa in Portland are organizing arson assaults on @Tesla areas tonight.
That is only a drop within the ocean of years of violent organizing on Twitter. https://t.co/UXTWORonjJ https://t.co/n8B5Z4K08C pic.twitter.com/GrWjwdLqPV

The Submit Millennial reported:
In 2021, CrimethInc ran a GoFundMe marketing campaign that amassed 1000’s of {dollars} after its mail-order area the place extremist texts had been printed was destroyed in a hearth in downtown Olympia, Washington.
CrimethInc turned a outstanding Antifa activist group in 2020 within the wake of the BLM riots, which precipitated upwards of 30 deaths, a number of accidents, and over 1 billion {dollars} in harm.
What are the chances that this is able to have occurred below Twitter’s earlier management? Positive, they had been gung-ho about banning right-leaning teams. The corporate’s censorship brigade noticed match to ban former President Donald Trump from the platform for supposedly inciting the Jan. 6 riot on the U.S. Capitol constructing. However Antifa accounts, together with others that referred to as for violence, had been allowed to stay.
How curious.
The banning of CrimethInc is yet one more indicator that below Musk, the corporate’s insurance policies shall be utilized persistently, no matter politics. Political affiliation is just not being thought of as grounds for suspension or everlasting bans, which is the best way it must be.
This growth is just not going to win Musk extra pals on the exhausting left, who overtly or covertly assist left-wing violence. Certainly, one consumer complained that they “have zero incentive to stay round when the ideology I middle my entire being round had been silenced” and inspired individuals to “swap to #Mastadon.”
However will probably be much more fascinating when Twitter’s content material moderation coverage is utilized equally even for lesser offenses. That is when leftists will really really feel the warmth as they are going to now not have the ability to have interaction in the kind of content material that might usually get a conservative censored. We are able to anticipate to see much more whining and caterwauling as the truth units in that they are going to now not benefit from the shielding that had below the pre-Musk period.
