Twitter User With Surname El-Baghdadi Accuses Company Of Racism After His Account Was Suspended Under Suspicion It Was The Account Of The Leader Of ISIS

Twitter truly has a problem with the use of its platform for several nefarious purposes, including use by radicals to conduct their activities.
However, cracking down on terrorists have to be done in a sensible manner to avoid problems like these.
A twitter user by name Iyad El-Baghdadi had his twitter account suspended for over half an hour after authorities confused his account with that of the IS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
El-Baghdadi regularly trolls the Islamist group on twitter, posting messages mocking them. He also researches and tweets about the process via which people are radicalised.
After his suspension was lifted, Baghdadi accused twitter of being racist, saying that every Arabic country would have someone with the name al-Baghdadi, if that was the only thing they were interested in. He told the BBC that the incident also raises serious questions about twitter’s security processes for dealing with such accounts.
