Rep. Majorie Taylor Greeneās (R-Ga.) Twitter account was permanently suspended for ārepeated violationsā of the social media platformās COVID-19 misinformation policy.
A Twitter spokesperson said to The Hill in a statement, āWeāve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy.ā
Greene later posted a statement to Telegram responding to the suspension.
āMaxine Waters can go to the streets and threaten violence on Twitter, Kamala and Ilhan can bail out Black Lives Matter terrorists on Twitter, CNN and the rest of the Democrat Propaganda Media can spread Russia collusion lies, and just yesterday the Chief spokesman for terrorist IRGC can tweet mourning Soleimani, but I get suspended for tweeting VAERS statistics,ā Greene wrote.
She claimed Twitter is the āenemy to America and canāt handle the truth.ā
Greene added, āThatās fine, Iāll show America we donāt need them and itās time to defeat our enemies.ā
Closing her statement, Greene declared, āI stand with the truth and the people. We will overcome!ā
According to Twitterās guidelines, āContent that is demonstrably false or misleading and may lead to significant risk of harm (such as increased exposure to the virus, or adverse effects on public health systems) may not be shared on Twitter.ā
The guidelines continue, āThis includes sharing content that may mislead people about the nature of the COVID-19 virus; the efficacy and/or safety of preventative measures, treatments, or other precautions to mitigate or treat the disease; official regulations, restrictions, or exemptions pertaining to health advisories; or the prevalence of the virus or risk of infection or death associated with COVID-19.ā
In August, Twittersuspended Greeneās account for one week after suggesting that the Food and Drug Administration āshould not approve the covid vaccines.ā
Additionally, she argued the vaccines were āfailingā and ineffective at reducing the spread of the virus.
