Twitter banned Tim "Treadstone" Gionet, more widely known as Baked Alaska, on Wednesday as it continues to rid its site of abuse and harassment.*
It was not immediately clear why Gionet was suspended. He had told conservative journalist Joe Biggs that he had not tweeted in two days, according to Biggs (https://twitter.com/Rambobiggs/status/930907231842979841).*
A Twitter spokesperson told Mashable the company does not comment on individual comments (as is known) but pointed to Twitter's Hateful Conduct Policy (https://support.twitter.com/articles/20175050), specifically "repeated and/or or non-consensual slurs, epithets, racist and sexist tropes, or other content that degrades someone."
