• Prominent left-wing Twitter accounts have been banned after false reports, The Intercept reported.

• Far-right activists have launched a campaign to report left-wing accounts for false violations, it reported.

• Elon Musk reinstated banned right wing accounts like Donald Trump and Kanye West earlier this month.

Several left-wing activists on Twitter have been suspended from the platform after far-right users launched a false-report campaign, The Intercept reported.

Prominent left-wing accounts have been banned from Twitter since Musk's takeover including Chad Loder, an anti-fascist researcher who identified a Proud Boy member involved in the US Capitol Riots on January 6 2021; Vishal Pratap Singh, a journalist who has reported on far-right protests in Southern California; Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club, a group that provides armed security for LGBTQ+ events in Texas; and CrimethInc, an anarchist organization that distributes articles, zines, books and posters on anti-authoritarianism.

Right-wing activists coordinated a campaign to mass report left-wing Twitter users for fake violations to get their accounts suspended — Loder's account was mentioned on a list of accounts to report.

Loder shared screenshots with The Intercept showing Telegram channels with thousands of Proud Boy and QAnon followers who had filed mass complaints against Loder's account and celebrated his suspension from Twitter.

Far-right users like journalist Andy Ngo on Twitter urged Musk to address the "large number of Antifa accounts" operating on Twitter. Ngo specifically mentioned CrimetheInc calling it an "Antifa collective." Musk then directed Ngo to report Antifa accounts.

Loder told Intercept that his account was suspended just 90 minutes after Musk responded to Ngo on Twitter.

"What I believe happened is that I and other accounts have been mass reported for the last few weeks by a dedicated group of far-right extremists who want to erase archived evidence of their past misdeeds and to neutralize our ability to expose them in the future," Loder told Intercept.
