Twitter Permanently Bans US Lawmaker For COVID-19 Misinformation

​Twitter permanently booted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from the social media platform Sunday, saying she had repeatedly violated its policies by posting misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic.

The Georgia Republican’s personal account “@mtgreenee” was permanently blocked, although her congressional account “@RepMTG” is still online.

“We permanently suspended the account you referenced (@mtgreenee) for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy,” Twitter said in a statement. “We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy.”​

Greene responded to the ban by going on the social media site Telegram to call Twitter an “enemy of the people.”

“Twitter is an enemy to America and can’t handle the truth,” the congresswoman said. She went on to say she’ll show America that “we don’t need them and it’s time to defeat our enemies.”

“They can’t successfully complete a Communist revolution when people tell the truth,” she said, adding that “Communist Democrats can’t stop the truth.”

“I stand with the truth and the people. We will overcome!” she declared.

Twitter has taken similar actions against politicians and even news sites over content that the social media giant deems to violate its policies.
