Why Twitter bans Kanye West twitter account
View comments
The American award-winning singer has Kanye West has passed the red line of Twitter policies. Kanye West tweeted a journalist mobile on the bird app. In August, Kanye West discloses a screenshot of his phone book entry for Forbes chief content officer Randall Lane. He wrote with the image, “IF ANY OF MY FANS WANT TO CALL A WHITE SUPREMACIST … THIS IS THE EDITOR OF FORBES.”
The act of publishing someone else’s private information without permission known as doxing is considered a violation of Twitter’s policies. The tweet was public for nearly 30 minutes Wednesday afternoon before it was removed for violating Twitter rules Kanye keeps sharing a series of tweets after that before going quiet. CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy noted that Kanye is actually temporarily banned from the platform, writing, “TWITTER IS REQUIRING @KANYEWEST TO REMOVE A TWEET SHARING PRIVATE INFO ABOUT @RANDALLLANE (WHICH TWITTER HAS HIDDEN FROM PUBLIC VIEW FOR NOW) TO REGAIN ACCESS TO HIS ACCOUNT. UNTIL THEN, HE CANNOT TWEET.” “ALSO, FWIW, THIS IS HOW TWITTER ALWAYS ENFORCES ITS RULES. THE COMPANY HIDES TWEETS THAT BREAK ITS RULES FROM PUBLIC VIEW, AND LOCKS THE ACCOUNT UNTIL THE OWNER LOGS ON AND REMOVES THE TWEET.”
