Twitter suspended the account of attorney L. Lin Wood yesterday because he defended his client, Kyle Rittenhouse, according to Reclaim The Net.
(1) I was arrested today & confined in Twitter jail falsely accused of glorifying violence. I was exonerated this evening by a finding of “incorrectly actioned.” I am free tonight.

Attorney John Pierce, who also represents Rittenhouse, said “Twitter just shut down the most important lawyer in the country at this moment in our history.”
Wood, the lawyer for former Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann, announced Tuesday night in a tweet that his account had been restored.
Twitter’s censorship of Wood is part of the corporate media and social media’s attempt to silence and delegitimize all defenses of Rittenhouse, who the media has falsely characterized as a vigilante and white supremacist.
Rittenhouse was charged with two counts of homicide after shooting three leftist rioters, who had attacked him, and killing two of them.
Video of the incident shows that Rittenhouse was fleeing from his attackers, who were screaming “Get him!”
One of them hit him with a skateboard, and the other threatened him with a drawn handgun.
Twitter and Facebook have been punishing users who argue that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense under the guise of blocking content that supposedly praises violence.
Facebook removed searches for Rittenhouse.
GoFundMe took down a fundraiser that supported him, while actively encouraging people to donate to one of Rittenhouse’s attackers.
