Twitter bans Steve Bannon after call for beheadings; YouTube removes video [View all]
From the NBC news election blog:

Twitter banned an account associated with Steve Bannon on Thursday and YouTube removed one of his videos after the former Trump adviser called for the beheadings of two federal officials.
Bannon, in a video for his podcast recording, had said he wanted to behead FBI Director Christopher Wray and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious diseases expert.
Bannon said he would “put the heads on pikes” as a “warning to federal bureaucrats,” referencing Tudor-era England.
“The @WarRoomPandemic account has been permanently suspended for violating the Twitter Rules, specifically our policy on the glorification of violence,” Twitter said in a statement. The platform has an established policy against the glorification of violence.
