A spokesperson for Twitter would not elaborate on the exact tweets or content that had violated their policy, simply saying:
Hopkins is well known for her anti-immigrant views and was previously suspended from Twitter for a week in January.
She initially found fame in 2007 as a contestant on the UK’s “The Apprentice” TV show, a game show modeled on the US program of the same name that starred Donald Trump. Hopkins subsequently became a conservative commentator, and her controversial views on immigration and Islam have regularly made headlines across the UK.
In 2017, she was fired from a radio show when she called for a “final solution” to Muslims in the UK following a terror attack in Manchester.
Twitter’s policy defines “hateful conduct” as anything that promotes violence against or directly attacks or threatens other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease. “We also do not allow accounts whose primary purpose is inciting harm towards others on the basis of these categories.”
