As reported by The Huffington Post:
New rules implemented on Twitter Monday have led to the suspensions of accounts belonging to prominent neo-Nazis, white nationalists and other far-right extremists.
[...] "You may not make specific threats of violence or wish for the serious physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people," states Twitter's rule for "violent extremist groups," which went into effect Monday.
"This includes, but is not limited to, threatening or promoting terrorism," the rule continues. "You also may not affiliate with organizations that – whether by their own statements or activity both on and off the platform – use or promote violence against civilians to further their causes."
[...] The "alt-right ― a loose association of neo-Nazis, white nationalists, assorted racists, fascists, and other far-right elements that has used Twitter for years to organize and recruit ― anticipated today's "purge," with many preparing to make the jump to Gab, a largely rules-free micro-blogging platform used primarily by white nationalists.

Be afraid! Be very Afraid! Pansy! Don't you know that "commies under your bed" is so, like, your Grandparents paranoia? Today, or yesterday, it was all "Terrorists", under your bed, in your subway, you know, the standard "be very afraid" stuff. And even right now, it is not so much the anti-fascists you have to worry about, unless you are actually a fascist! And if you actually are a fascist, at least you do not have to worry about law enforcement. That should make up for being Twitter banned, no?
