Twitter has suspended more than 550 accounts in light of the violence that erupted in parts of Delhi during farmers' Republic Day tractor rally. A spokesperson for the micro-blogging website said on Wednesday that the action was taken against users engaged in "spam and platform manipulation". "We have taken strong enforcement action to protect the conversation on the service from attempts to incite violence, abuse and threats that could trigger the risk of offline harm by blocking certain terms that violate our rules for trends," the spokesperson said.
"Using a combination of technology and human review, Twitter worked at scale and took action on hundreds of accounts and Tweets that have been in violation of the Twitter Rules, and suspended more than 550 accounts engaged in spam and platform manipulation," he said. The Twitter spokesperson said, "We have also applied labels to Tweets that were found to be in violation of synthetic and manipulated media policy. We are monitoring the situation closely and remain vigilant, and strongly encourage those on the service to report anything they believe is in violation of the rules."
