"Roger Stone Suspended From Twitter After Expletive-Laden Tweets"

On Saturday, Trump adviser Roger Stone took to Twitter to go on a expletive-filled rant against news anchor Don Lemon and other CNN commentators, prompted by Lemon's tweet concerning the Mueller investigation and how the very first charges have been filed. As a result of this tirade, the social media corporation decided to suspend his account for multiple hours. Later that day, it was further revealed that his account wasn't only suspended but furthermore, banned permanently. While in normal circumstances, I would be for free speech, this isn't a normal circumstance. The rant Stone went on was full of vitriol and hatred and wasn't the place for that kind of inappropriate behavior. I personally agree with Twitter's choice to remove Stone from Twitter as he has shown this kind of behavior, time and time again.
