CardFax, a documentary page, which documents some of Britain's worst and most notorious trolls - including Nicky Wright - has been slapped with a permanent Twitter suspension. It is unclear what has brought about the suspension, although there are suspicions that Wright and Card's friends have coordinated a mass reporting effort - in perhaps a similar way we do when it comes to reporting Nazis on Twitter (barring the posting out accounts for report) - to try to bring the CardFax twitter page down, and this time, with unfortunate success. Only a few days ago, Twitter had restricted the account of CardFax. This is not a surprise, as this is also a similar tactic used and employed (and abused) by far right trolls to coordinate mass suspensions of anti fascists, democrat accounts and other social justice advocates around the world, on Twitter. Twitter, in this instance, has done the wrong thing and taken a useful page down, while, as always, takes quite a long time to ban Nazis, hateful accounts and incels. This goes to show that Twitter can ban anyone without a good reason - and that includes anti bullying awareness accounts. And this also proves that Twitter can leave hateful and violent accounts up, and allow those accounts to harass others. This makes it become clear that there needs to be regulations around the reporting system (to make sure that the reporting system isn't being abused, in addition to Twitter taking reports of violations seriously) - and also on what content can be posted to Twitter and what is not allowed there, especially a year after the Christchurch Mosque attacks and multiple Anti Semitic attacks in synagogues worldwide. However, the good news is that this does not mean that Nicky Wright is no longer being documented for his abuse and harassment. He has been suspended dozens of times before - just like Gigi and her white supremacist group members. Every new account he makes, we will document it on this site. And any move he makes that is of interest, or may be newsworthy - we will post it in the dedicated section in this site. UPDATE: @Card_fax is now back on Twitter, as the person behind the documentary page had appealed the suspension. Their website is down, however. SECOND UPDATE: It appears that Twitter has reversed their decision to reinstate @Card_fax, and the account is now permanently suspended, with little chance of it coming back.

Police and the New Zealand electoral commission are investigating claims of suspected voter fraud after a Twitter user openly boasted about voting at different booths, in multiple and different places, and at different times.
The account - @4Tswizzle - who is now suspended, perhaps due to the Twitter Rules on Civic and Election integrity, openly bragged about voting at least twice on Twitter, and has provided information on how to vote in a fraudulent manner. The user also boasted that that said user was going to keep casting votes until election day.
The tweets were reported by other users to the New Zealand police - and to Twitter, who made the decision to suspend the account around a day later.
A police spokesperson confirmed the complaint made by the Electoral commission, and have stated that they would be investigating the matter. Any new information that you have about the now suspended account relating to the voter fraud case should be forwarded to the New Zealand police.
