wilwheaton:micdotcom:wilwheaton:the-future-now:Twitter just suspended a bunch of alt-right users Twitter has suspended Richard Spencer, a leading voice of the alt-right movement. Spencer’s verified account was removed Wednesday alongside accounts for his think tank, National Policy Institute, his online magazine, Radix Journal, and a book publishing, Washington Summit Publishers. Meanwhile, Reddit is being called out for celebrating the alt-right.follow @the-future-nowDear Journalists, I propose the following be added to your style guides:“white supremacists, who refer to themselves as ‘alt-right’”or“white nationalists, who refer to themselves as ‘alt-right’”or“"neo-nazis, who refer to themselves as ‘alt-right’”because “alt-right” is a normalizing term that sanitizes what these people stand for.Thanks for bringing this up, Wil. This is in our full article but was condensed in the Tumblr post:Twitter had suspended the account of Richard Spencer, a leading voice of the alt-right movement, which is rooted in white supremacist, misogynistic and authoritarian ideologies. You’re doing it right, .Mic. Here’s hoping other journalists follow suit. -- source link
