WHAT? Twitter SUSPENDS Steven Crowder, Studio Team For ‘Hateful Conduct’

Emily Zanotti

Twitter has suspended Steven Crowder for violating its “hateful conduct” terms, after he and his studio team posted an edited video of undercover reporter “SvenComputer” crashing a panel on “gender fluidity” at the South By Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas.

Initially, Twitter only suspended Crowder for 12 hours, but has since reversed that time limit, leaving Crowder in “Twitter jail” for at least a week over a video that was restricted not for its offensive language, which was immediately edited, but, Crowder believes, for content “offensive” to Twitter’s social justice-oriented censorship team.
