Twitter banned Tim “Treadstone” Gionet, more widely known as Baked Alaska, on Wednesday as it continues to rid its site of abuse and harassment. 

A Twitter spokesperson told Mashable the company does not comment on individual comments (as is known) but pointed to Twitter’s Hateful Conduct Policy, specifically “repeated and/or or non-consensual slurs, epithets, racist and sexist tropes, or other content that degrades someone.”

Baked Alaska is apparently no longer able to tweet, suggesting the latter.  Read more…
