Twitter’s policies of banning and suspension are under fire again, this time from former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone, whose account was suspended, seemingly indefinitely, after he tweeted a storm of obscenities at a number of CNN anchors on Saturday night. According to Politico, Stone had gone after a number of CNN’s staff in a series of tweets, seemingly in response to a report that an indictment from Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation was imminent. Stone tweeted that anchor Don Lemon was “dumber than dog sh--” and deserved to be mocked. To Stone, what he said to earn suspension is no different from average trolling on the platform. “I have been inundated on Twitter with death threats, threats to kill my wife, my family, my children and even my dogs yet Twitter seems unconcerned with these bloggers,” Stone said.
