SAN FRANCISCO -- Twitter on Sunday banned the personal account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for multiple violations of its COVID-19 misinformation policy, according to a statement from the company.
The Georgia Republican's account was permanently suspended under the "strike" system Twitter launched in March, which uses artificial intelligence to identify posts about the coronavirus 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.
In a statement on the messaging app Telegram, Greene blasted Twitter's move as un-American. She wrote that her account was suspended after tweeting statistics from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, a government database which includes unverified raw data. "Twitter is an enemy to America and can't handle the truth," Greene said. "That's fine, I'll show America we don't need them and it's time to defeat our enemies."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.Related Stories
Unfortunately that only makes . People the believer in her . Validate what she say . Censorship is never good . Better to debate or put it out why it not true 🙄🙄🙄
Now if only the DoJ would do something about her?
👏👏👏
Good. I am tired of old shark eyes.
Why is this news in Canada? No one cares!!
She can got Gettr😂✌️✌️✌️
Ban everyone spreading misinformation. It's literally killing people.
Alleged.
Yahoooooo
Wonder how many months ago suggesting a 3rd booster would have been enough to get you banned?
Joining Trump in Twitter exile. Facebook next?
Why did it take so long?
Took long enough
Today's misinformation is tomorrow's science.

That's a shame. She rules
Why not maddow as well? I don't understand why censorship of lies and misinformation only goes one way
Now she has a random 8 digit account just like her followers. Lovely.
Easily one of the most toxic voices in politics...
Good move…!
Death by 1000 cuts
Ban the lunatic
Well done Twitter.
Her own fault. MarjorieTaylorGreene
Big Tech. Big Pharma. Big Gov. All best buds.
Far too late to undo all the damage she's caused.
They hate her because she's beautiful.
So it's missinfo when it doesn't toe the big tech agenda?
Scaredy-cats
Twitter is simply a mouth piece for the corrupt democrat party. Yes they can do what they want but so can congress when they implement anti trust laws and re write section 230. The matter will be addressed.
In this picture you can see the hate oozing out of her pores.
They’re only banning her bc as people are learning more about the truth of the vax, people are becoming hesitant to take the booster. That means the pharmaceutical companies lose money, which means the govt doesn’t get $$. It’s a PLANDEMIC!
Bye Felisha
A ha ha ha
Long over due.
ANYTHING NEW? Any thing that goes against the vaccine narrative is misinformation according to the powers that be. Twitter banned the man who invented the RNA tech they are using to make the vaccines for the same reason. Say it with me ' YOU CANNOT DEVIATE FROM THE NARRATIVE'.
Couldn't have happened to a bigger piece of garbage than that women. MTG isn't fit for office. She isn't even fit to be out in public.
That is fantastic. That bad news trash needed to go along time ago
Cause she speaks the truth, such a good reason to ban someone 🙄
I'm surprised the government hasn't banned her lmao
Twitter bans everyone who tells the truth about the fake virus.
So this is what it takes for Twitter to finally do something? What about the rest of the highly followed Nazis and other dangerous public figures who issue/share personal threats and even bounties, outright lies, and life-threatening misinformation?
Twitter has higher standards than Congress 💀
😂😂😂 what a nut!
It’s about time this happened!!
Ban the entire anti-democracy Republican Party !
And nothing of value was lost. Good riddance!
Wow ! Mais oui, Aye ?
Finally
There are a few other mouthpieces, spreading false info, that should be shut down as well.
So instead of challenging her regarding her interpretation of the data from the CDC, Twitter chooses to censor. This doesn't address the concern she raised. If anything, it only exacerbates her claims by giving the appearance that Big Tech is trying to hide data from public.
Why isn’t mainstream media banned!!! CTV, CBC trying to keep people living in fear over a flu
🤣
Can USA defend from wars itself without one allies in the world?
Took them long enough! They need to ban that other one from Colorado as well.
All the liberals and leftists love this, meanwhile they don't see the issue with losing our free speech that we died for. I would be the first to defend my political adversaries if they where being censored, we are not of the same cloth.
A business woman Mother of five kids Involved with the community Congress woman Only strike against her is she's white and a Christian who posted CDC information
At this rate, in 10 yrs twitter will be the new MySpace lmao. Keep up the great work Twitter
What's wrong with this guy!!!!
Klapis.
So when will you ban the WHO and CDC
Let people speak their mind. Free speech 🤐🤐🤐
Awesome !! 👍
First ever good news involving MTG.
Disinfo.
Twitter needs a wake up call, if it doesn’t benefit big pharma it’s misinformation.
Taking out the trash after the holidays is an annual tradition.
Did you hear that thunderous clap that echoed around the world?
Idiot in the first degree… goodbye
Buh bye.
And it only took 300 strikes.
