Pro-terrorism content

Twitter suspends 377,000 accounts for pro-terrorism content

The company made the announcement Tuesday in its twice-annual transparency report, which publishes data on requests Twitter has received from the government and other legal entities to police content from its platform.

Of the 376,890 accounts Twitter suspended for posting terrorism-related content, just two percent were the result of government requests to remove data. Twitter said 74% of extremist accounts were found by "internal, proprietary spam-fighting tools."
