Marjorie Taylor Greene Gets Permanently Banned From Twitter For Spreading COVID-19 Misinformation

Twitter permanently suspended the personal account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Sunday for "repeated violations" of the platform's "COVID-19 misleading information policy."

Greene's ban was prompted by a misleading graph she tweeted out on Saturday that falsely promoted "extremely high amounts of Covid vaccine deaths" in the U.S. The congresswoman posted her response to the ban on the social media site Telegram, where she called Twitter "an enemy to America." "Social media platforms can't stop the truth from being spread far and wide," Greene wrote. "Big Tech can't stop the truth. Communist Democrats can't stop the truth. I stand with the truth and the people. We will overcome!" Greene will still be allowed to post from her official Congressional page, @RepMTG, as it is not in violation of company policies. The Georgia Republican was temporarily suspended from Twitter four previous times for spreading false information. On the platform, she promoted other conspiracies related to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Sandy Hook shooting and the 2020 election. Her controversial social media activity also led to the House of Representatives voting to remove her from the Education and Budget committees back in February.

Greene's permanent ban was prominently covered by outlets across the spectrum. Left-rated outlets were more likely to link back to when former President Donald Trump was banned from Twitter last year. Many right-rated voices have accused Big Tech companies for intentionally censoring their viewpoints and favoring left-leaning ideologies.
