    No such thing as "permanently suspended." That's called banned

      Hopefully, she saw this coming and was also investing into social media alternatives that are more permissive towards free speech.

        Yes, She is on Parler. Which is kind of like Twitter and she is already posting there as usual and I followed here there. A cozy growing community.

        I am not sure this fits here, but here is an interview with Katie, some of which touches on what has been going on:

        It's hard to know who to support least. Katie Hopkins is a click bait troll, and Twitter is a censoring echo chamber.

        So... Why was she banned?

        According to Katie's Instagram video addressing the issue she used the phrase 'hung like a buffoon' while referring to someone, that was considered hate speech of some sort.
