Roger Stone is back in Twitter's penalty box.
Stone, a confidant to President Donald Trump and former adviser to his campaign, had his Twitter account temporarily locked again this week after tweeting “I&039;m watching you and know what you&039;re up to. Better watch your ass” to Media Matters communications director Laura Allison Keiter on Wednesday afternoon. Twitter locked Stone&039;s account in March following another rules violation.
Reached via Twitter, Keiter forwarded an email she received from Twitter Thursday morning confirming it locked Stone&039;s account.

Twitter&039;s in the midst of a scotched earth campaign against harassment on its platform. In recent months, the company has rolled out a number of anti-harassment tools including keyword filters and a new disciplinary measure that temporarily throttles the reach of users it believes are targeting others for abuse. In December, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said fighting harassment is the company&039;s top priority.
Roger Stone did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
