Twitter has kicked France Libre 24 off its platform for now | Diptendu Dutta/AFP via Getty Images Twitter suspends account of Poland-backed French far-right website France Libre 24 suspended for violating social media site’s spam policy.

Twitter suspended the account of France Libre 24, a website made to look like a French news outlet that's actually run by Polish far-right activists, a spokesperson for the company told POLITICO.

The account was suspended because it violated the social media's spam policy, the spokesperson said.

Research by POLITICO and EU DisinfoLab showed that France Libre 24, which publishes news stories on French politics and social affairs, is actually run by a group of Polish far-right activists who are linked to the right-wing Konfederacja party and former MEP Janusz Korwin-Mikke.

According to Twitter's platform manipulation and spam policy, the social media cannot be used "to engage in bulk, aggressive, or deceptive activity that misleads others and/or disrupts their experience."

Facebook declined to comment on whether the France Libre 24 page violated its terms of service.

One of the platform's Polish investors told Agence France-Presse they were considering launching a similar portal in the United States, "where the market is bigger and the language more accessible."
