Twitter permanently bans Politics For All

A spokesperson said the account was “suspended for violating the Twitter Rules on platform manipulation and spam”.

Twitter has permanently banned rolling news service Politics For All from its platform.

The channel was suspended this weekend to mixed reaction on social media, with associated accounts including News For All and Crypto For All also taken down.

A Twitter spokesperson told The Guardian that the account was “suspended for violating the Twitter Rules on platform manipulation and spam” and would not be allowed to return.

A media law expert also suggested the removal of the account could be down to copyright issues, with many mainstream journalists complaining that its breaking news posts would often attract more social media shares than the posts by the outlets who actually reported the stories.

Founder Nick Moar, who has since landed a job at the Spectator as a social media editor, declined to comment on the deletion of Politics For All. But several high-profile names have called for it to be reinstated.

So @Twitter has permanently banned @politicsforall . A very dark move. What the hell is going on? #ReinstatePoliticsForAll

Social media entrepreneur and Dragons’ Den star Steven Bartlett said the banning of politics for all on Twitter is “one of the shadiest things” he has ever seen from a platform in his entire life.

He suggested it could be down to the page wishing to “remain independent”, even though Byline Times reports suggest Moar has in the past been a vocal supporter of Brexit and the Conservative Party.

Nick – a broke 19 year student – said no and insisted it was to remain independent.

He woke up a few days later and Twitter had suspended it?

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but…

One individual at Politics for All said: “The fact Twitter will allow the Taliban on their platform but not a simple news aggregator is quite something. We will be appealing this decision.”

However, it is unclear how the aggregator could appeal against the permanent suspension, which is similar to the treatment handed out to former US President Donald Trump.

Twitter has stated the suspension is final and its rules on platform manipulation apply to users who “artificially amplify or suppress information or engage in behaviour that manipulates or disrupts people’s experience”.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
