A Twitter spokesperson said that a Twitter account belonging to the "Antiva" organization, which promotes violence and hate speech on the sidelines of the protests in the United States 7 days ago, has been suspended>

The spokesman said that the account violated the site policy and the spam policy, specifically by creating fake accounts, stressing that his tweets incite violence.

Also topped in the past hours, hashtags on the site "Twitter" worldwide claiming that there is a cover-up and a darkening of the demonstrations in Washington, and that the demonstrators are being silenced in some way, and that there are problems with Internet service in the United States.

Twitter confirmed that it removed these hashtags from the "most traded" due to its observation that it was coordinated and aimed at deflecting the path of protests, adding that he suspended hundreds of fake accounts that helped spread these misleading hashtags.

A Twitter spokesman said: "We are taking proactive measures on any coordinated attempts to disrupt the public conversation on this issue."

He added: "We want the hashtags to foster healthy discussions on Twitter, and this means that sometimes, we may prevent a certain hashtag from appearing on the list of the most popular, especially those that violate our company rules."

"NetBlocks", a nonprofit group that monitors internet access around the world, has not found any indication of a malfunction in the Internet within Washington within the past 48 hours, and journalists covering the protests have denied these allegations.

US officials later announced that Chinese authorities were behind the spread of this misinformation to spread terror.
