The company further emphasizes it killed a majority of the pro-terrorism accounts set up on its platform before they could post anything: “Notably, 75% of these accounts were suspended before posting their first Tweet,” it writes.

How can they kill an account before the first tweet?

First I thought they identify the terrorists, on whom they follow. But if they know, that this account is following terrorist, why didn't they kill these accounts first? I think it is impossible to kill an account before the first post. This is pure censorship from a global company, which wants too show, how cool they can handle assumed terrorism. You know nothing Twitter :( #Criticism is not terrorism.

I wish we could address this #problem with #education. If people could identify #fake, #hate and terror, Twitter wouldn't have to take it down.
