Twitter said on Tuesday it had stepped up efforts to rid its social network of posts from users advocating political or religious violence, and was increasingly using software to find them rather than relying on reports from users or governments.

Of the accounts recently suspended for advocating political or religious violence, 74% were identified by "internal, proprietary spam-fighting tools," rather than by users or authorities, Twitter said. Less than 2% were suspended after authorities complained that a user was violating Twitter's terms of service, it said.

1. This is awesome

Get those creeps off the system.

Not that I use Twitter anyway, but maybe those Breitbart a-holes will finally be silenced.
