Twitter should've banned David Duke years ago
Twitter bans ex-KKK leader David Duke
Twitter has permanently banned white nationalist David Duke for repeatedly violating its rules about "hateful conduct".
The social network changed its policy in March and no longer lets people share links to articles that include "hateful content" or incite violence.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an anti-hate organisation, describes Duke as "perhaps America's most well-known racist and anti-Semite".
He was banned from YouTube in June.
Duke's final tweet linked to an interview he had conducted with Germar Rudolf, who was convicted of Holocaust denial in Germany where it is a criminal offence.
