Twitter bans alt-right troll Baked Alaska

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.

A Twitter spokesperson told Mashable the company does not comment on individual comments (as is known) but pointed to Twitter's Hateful Conduct Policy, specifically "repeated and/or or non-consensual slurs, epithets, racist and sexist tropes, or other content that degrades someone."
