The company said Sunday that Twitter suspended a personal account for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after repeated violations of the Covid 19 misinformation policy.
In a statement from Twitter, the account you referenced was permanently suspended for violations of our COVID 19 misinformation policy. We have been clear that we will permanently suspend accounts for violations of the policy because of our strike system. Greene, R-Ga. appears to still have access to her professional account, RepMTG, but Twitter did not say what was tweeted to earn a permanent suspension.
Greene was suspended Sunday for tweeting statistics from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, according to a statement from her office.
Greene said that Twitter is an enemy to America and can't handle the truth. That is fine, I ll show America that we don't need them and it's time to defeat our enemies. In March of last year, Twitter implemented a strike system for violations. A single strike may not incur an action, but the company will place locks on an account that repeatedly violates the policy.
Five or more strikes will result in a permanent suspension, according to the company's website.
In 2021, Greene was suspended for violations of the company's policies.
Greene was suspended in January of last year for making false statements about voter fraud in Georgia. She was temporarily suspended in July and August for violating Covid 19 policy with tweets regarding vaccines.
