        Alex Kaplan Retweeted hannah gais

        Fuentes' ban from Twitter comes just days after @MichaelEHayden reported that Twitter told him that Fuentes was not violating the platform's rules.https://twitter.com/hannahgais/status/1412786073424613377 …

        check out @MichaelEHayden's deep dive of how Twitter empowered the extreme right, which includes, among other things, this response to me emailing them in the midst of the insurrection to say Nick Fuentes was at the Capitol as it was being attacked. https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2021/07/07/we-make-mistakes-twitters-embrace-extreme-far-right … pic.twitter.com/FjukVXiLxk
