Twitter Bans Blonde Occurred on 28 Nov 2017

Shortly after being temporarily suspended twice within two weeks (first on Nov 2nd and then again on Nov 13th), Blonde was permanently banned from Twitter. No reason or possibility for appeal was given by Twitter. Her account @blonde_tweets had about 20k followers when she was banned.

Blonde released a video covering her suspensions, the perma-ban, the fact that the rape and death threats she receives go unaddressed by Twitter, and more.

Thankfully, Blonde moved over to Gab and is active there:
