On Saturday evening, Twitter restored the account of Richard B. Spencer after it had been suspended on November 16, along with several other white nationalist-related accounts.

BuzzFeed News, which was one of the first news sites to report the news on Sunday, noted that Spencer was “banned on a technicality.” He apparently had run afoul of Twitter’s rule against “serial and/or multiple accounts.”

The news website published Twitter’s e-mail to Spencer, asking him to select one of his accounts to be reinstated, and he chose his own personal account.
