Although Twitter had not taken large-scale action against popular Antifa Twitter accounts during President Trump’s tenure, allowing Antifa more latitude to organize their efforts at creating chaos, this week, after President Biden was inaugurated, Twitter suspended some of those Antifa-related accounts.

The New York Post reported on Friday that Twitter had suspended several popular Antifa accounts with more than 71,000 followers. The Post noted, “At least four accounts tied with the militant group have been yanked offline — @JewishWorker, @RevAbolition, @RevAbolitionNYC and @TheBaseBK, the account for the anarchist center in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Archived web pages of the accounts show they shared more than 71,000 followers and dated as far back as 2012.”
