SAN FRANCISCO — Twitter on Sunday banned the personal account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for multiple violations of its COVID-19Greene’s account was permanently suspended under the “strike” system Twitter launched in March, which uses artificial intelligence to identify posts about the that are misleading enough to cause harm to people. Two or three strikes earn a 12-hour account lock; four strikes prompt a weeklong suspension, and five or more strikes can get someone permanently removed from Twitter.Twitter had previously suspended the account for periods ranging from 12 hours to a full week.

The ban applies to Greene’s personal account, @mtgreenee, but does not affect her official Twitter account, @RepMTG.A Greene tweet posted shortly before her weeklong suspension in July claimed that the virus “is not dangerous for non-obese people and those under 65.” According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people under 65 account for nearly 250,000 of the U.S. deaths involving COVID-19.

JimLaPorta WAY TOO MUCH censorship in this nation. 1934 Germany all over again. We are on a very slippery slope people...

Yea and Lauren Bobo, already threatened retaliation against Twitter. Her account still working fine.

Because fact is un-American, evidently. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😂

Now, she needs to expelled from Congress!

🐶

LOL

Why don't you report what the tweet said? Or don't you think that people are smart enough to judge the truth from fiction? Maybe it didn't deserve banning and AP knows it.

She looks like a man.

Awww to bad

Read Professor Tribe’s tweet about the results of a poorly educated population. A Representative Green is the result.

What a homely individual both inside and out.

Why does she look like that

I think the closeness of those two eyes is very telling of her cognitive abilities 😋

Of course she will blame the liberal media not the company that pays no taxes and makes billions in profits weekly.

Private corporate interests acting where elected representatives and democratic institutions have failed miserably and repeatedly.

Yes if Social media disagrees with a persons point of view that person gets banned by social media. Go free speech

She should be given the opportunity to make a fool out of herself.

🤐🤐🤐🤐🤭

🥲

Glad she's gone , I'm wondering how many people were banned for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories about the president of the united states was actually a secret Russia spy !!

🤣🤣🤣 buh bye c**t.

THE CUBAN DICTATORSHIP HOLDS MORE THAN 800 POLITICAL PRISONERS, AMONG THEM SEVERALS OF MINORS. FREEDOM FOR ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS.

Devil has been defeated

What is misinformation anyway? Is it a lie, or falsehood? If so why not call it that? Was it misinformation to say Trump was a Russian agent?

Then Biden and most of his administration should be suspended for giving the public false information about: the border, the economy, Inflation, the supply chain problem, Afghanistan withdrawal and multiple other lies.

LOL who see twitter life as real life... it reps a small fraction of the people in this country

MTG was stripped of committee assignments bec of incendiary violent remarks against Dems she’s racked up more fines for defying the House’s mask mandate. she’s racked up more strikes that caused a permanent ban of her personal twitter acct ExpelMarjorieTaylorGreene

If anyone is using Twitter for any “real” news I feel sorry for you..

Buh-bye

Must have been telling the truth. Twitter sucks.

This lady shouldn't be in government.. boot her out

She is all Georgia's fault.

homovexedus She'll pop up on fox news tomorrow & scream into a microphone to a glassy eyed audience claiming that she is being silenced.

Okay. JoeBiden account has to be next?

So Twitter is the authority on Covid. Got it😂😂🤡🤡

The permanent ban from Twitter is the Trump cultist badge of honor.

That’s umm tyranny

the bigger problem is the people that vote for her..when she goes away, another will come along just as bad. The people that vote for her are in some kind of cult.

It’s about time!

Womp womp !!

At least she was right about space laser.
