Elon Musk just banned the culture jamming anarchist publication CrimethInc. from Twitter after a request from Andy Ngo, the fascist activist who's beloved by multiple mass shooters.

CrimethInc. has had a Twitter account since 2008, has never violated Twitter policies, and has never been suspended until now.

@mwfc @micahflee seems strange. Maybe it’s an attempt to goose metrics when they unban everyone? Like “yeah we unbanned all these neo nazis and white supremacists but also all these antifa”

I am curious whether we find out. I would not be suprised to have a blanket reinstate to save work. Or a selective process where they unsuspend certain accounts for certain reasons.

Curious how it is documented internally.
