Twitter permanently suspends Greene’s account over COVID-19 misinformation
Twitter said on Sunday it permanently suspended the personal account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) over the social media platform’s COVID-19 misinformation policy.
The social network said in a statement that it took the action after “repeated violations” of the policy.
“We permanently suspended the account you referenced (@mtgreenee) for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy. We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy,” a Twitter spokesperson told The Hill in a statement.
As of Sunday morning, Greene’s congressional account was still up.
In response to the suspension, Greene insisted in a statement published on Telegram that she was telling the truth.
“Twitter is an enemy to America and can’t handle the truth,” Greene said. “That’s fine, I’ll show America we don’t need them and it’s time to defeat our enemies.”
Greene has previously been suspended by Twitter several times for violating its COVID-19 misinformation policy.
