Twitter appears to have suspended an account for the Daily Stormer, joining Facebook, Google and other tech giants taking aim at the neo-Nazi website after it essentially glorified the violent efforts by white supremacists in Charlottesville, Va.

On Twitter, the Daily Stormer’s feed is no longer visible; instead, the page on Wednesday afternoon reflects its account has been “suspended.” A spokesperson for Twitter said the company could not comment on individual users, but added: “The Twitter Rules prohibit violent threats, harassment, hateful conduct, and multiple account abuse, and we will take action on accounts violating those policies.”
