WINGS Over Scotlands Stuart Campbell has accused Twitter of censorship after two of his accounts were banned.<\/p>\n
The social media platform has taken action against the pro-independence bloggers @RevStu and @SealandGazette profiles for \"evading a permanent suspension\".<\/p>\n
It comes a month after Campbell's Twitter account for a new pro-Yes party, @WingsPartyScot, was banned as soon as it was created.<\/p>\n
The blogger hit back at Twitter over the latest action, saying that his @RevStu account predates @WingsScotland by years and was in constant use.<\/p>\n
He commented: \"The allegation that these accounts have been used to evade a permanent suspension are obviously ridiculous and false.<\/p>\n
The @RevStu account preceded the @WingsScotland one by years and has been in constant use since its creation, and the @SealandGazette one was only used during a technical hitch with the @RevStu one which was subsequently resolved.<\/p>\n

The blogger added: \"Twitter has still never given any explanation of how the Wings account broke any of its rules, because it did not.<\/p>\n
These actions are quite simply direct censorship and interference in the political affairs of a country by an unaccountable, unelected foreign corporation, and even people who hate Wings Over Scotland should be extremely alarmed by.\"<\/p>\n
Twitter confirmed the @RevStu and @SealandGazette accounts had been permanently suspended for violating our platform manipulation and spam policy.<\/p>\n
The website added that the @WingPartyScot profile was suspended because it was linked to an account that had been suspended for violations of our hateful conduct policy.<\/p>\n
