The Associated PressU.S. Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is shown in September. Greene's personal Twitter account has been permanently suspended under the 'strike' system launched by the social media company in March.Greene's account was permanently suspended under the "strike" system launched by Twitter in March. It uses artificial intelligence to identify posts about the coronavirus that are misleading enough to cause harm to people.

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 that includes unverified raw data. "Twitter is an enemy to America and can't handle the truth," the Republican 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.

Funny that banning the truth is now a thing. Rise up Patriots

Dont they know you cant anger the gods like this, u have to comply and only post stuff they want you to post, freedom of sppech went out the door along with your freedom to travel, freedom to breath air, all hail Covid and its pupet masters pulling the strings of the gen public.

I lament a society where people elevate a fool like MTG. We can do better.

But this account is ok?

Covid19 cases highest among the vaccinated over 30 & older per 100,000 in England

if only congress could cancel her permanently too

It's About Bloody Time Twitter?! B'g CONSISTANT & SWIFT IS Imperative, At this Time of Decisiveness &Tumult?! There IS A PROGRAMMABLE FIX & You Know It! Quit F'g Around bc of 💲& Clicks?! Congress Should Start Fining & Hauling Ur Asses In!

To people defending her tweet by saying it is just raw data posted from the source, at least show some sign of your understanding what the data means, how it is used and it's limitations.

Now do the other ones!

Saying that democrats are communists is an intellectual abyss

Twitter should ban all these domestic terrorist, qanon types... stupid people are easily led

Twitter suspends Greene’s account? The strike system ? Why not just banish stupid twits from Twitter? HouseGOP

Amazing she got elected.

This is just Twitter making a performance of self regulation in the hope that we won't regulate it. Every time social media curates or bans content it proves it is a publisher and not just a platform. It needs to be regulated.

She should be put on the no fly list. She is toxic and not only spreads lies she is spreading Coronavirus.

🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️

Twitter is turning into such a joke

'Permanently suspended' because 'closed' sounds too final. Is this like failed US Presidential candidates never ending their campaigns, just pausing them ?

Well now she must use her official Government account. Harder for claims of personal feelings. She still needs not have another term of service.

Banning her Twitter account will only serve to embolden her brain damaged supporters.

Is it the first time they mute a transgender?

6 reasons why you shouldn't worry about COVID-19 vaccines and how to go back to life the way it was

twitter be consistent! Remove access to her congressional Twitter account.

Liberals can dish it out but they can’t take it

Not to worry she headed over to Gettr just like all the cool kids are doing

Big tech is a big disgrace!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

A gagging order.

It's about damn time somebody shut that shaved sasquatch up!

I will not miss her rhetoric.

Both Twitter accounts should be banned permanently!!

Now start banning all the individuals that blamed, demonized and ostracized the unvaccinated for not getting back to normal as promised after getting your vaccine.

Well CBC how would you describe your reporting. as propaganda or lies of omission

Twitter is only for the left

Long overdue. MarjorieTaylorGreene

Why dont twitter ban pfizer nd other big pharma’s account too. Their vaccine is also jot efficient either!!

Twitter has higher standards than the United States congress.

To bad social media doesn't ban all anti vaxxers who spread misinformation

Look at all the cbc simps praising when some one gets banned off their special club.

OK, now ban her from entering Canada

They also removed Dr McCullough and Dr. Malone accounts also. Just ridiculous at this point.

Never heard of her.

Not her only account, so the lies and propaganda will keep coming.

Ban the entire anti democracy Republican Party !

Misinformation or wrong opinion?

Angry and arrogant and stupid— a terrible combination.

Good job Twitter, only 1 year late, but it's about time

😀

Good! She's a Danger to the Whole World!

GOOD, GOOD, GOOD!!

But she was an ok comedian with all the Space Jewish lizard lazer mumble jumble!

What took so long?

Yet Twitter allows the CBCNews and their boss JustinTrudeau spread hate, misinformation and division of the people. WeWillNotComply

Once you see it you can't unsee it.

Aprende aí TwitterBrasil !!

Do all the other deplorable accounts now twitter!

Good riddance.
