A Japanese man's Twitter account has recently been suspended by from the microblogging site after it threatened to kill a mosquito. Per Twitter's terms and policies,
Twitter seems to be dead serious about its campaign to take down accounts promoting terrorizations and violence. A user who called a mosquito "bastard" and cursed it to "die" in one of his tweets in Japanese seems to have taken the bullet all to himself.

The tweet reads: "Bastard! Where do you get off biting me all over while I'm just trying to relax and watch TV? Die! (Actually you're already dead)." The tweet was posted alongside a photo of the dead mosquito.
The Japanese man with handle @nemuismywife has been removed from the platform. He later created another account with handle @DaydreamMatcha, but Twitter suspended it as well after questioning its decision.
Twitter's action was met by divided opinions: some lauded its anti-hate campaign, while some made fun of the incident. Here are some of the funniest and wittiest reactions to the mosquito-threatening user and how Twitter dealt with it.
Spring is here. Just sprayed a can of deodorant on a mosquito... not to kill, just to let it know how damn annoying they are! ??
