Controversial GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had her personal Twitter account permanently suspended on Sunday by the social media platform. The company said Greene repeatedly violated the platform’s COVID-19 misinformation policy.
Greene’s account was previously suspended for tweeting misinformation about coronavirus and the presidential election. Twitter released a statement regarding the ban but did not specify what Greene wrote to earn a permanent ban.
“We permanently suspended the account you referenced (@mtgreenee) for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy,” said the social media platform 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.”
Green still has access to her congressional Twitter account, @RepMTG.
In a statement released through her office, Greene called Twitter “an enemy to America.”
“Social media platforms can’t stop the truth from being spread far and wide. Big Tech can’t stop the truth,” the statement read, in part. “Communist Democrats can’t stop the truth. I stand with the truth and the people. We will overcome!”
A policy was put in place in March of last year by Twitter. A strike system was implemented, earning user suspensions for repeated violations. Five or more offenses can result in a permanent ban.
