Twitter Bans Personal Greene Account For COVID-19 Misinformation

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) β€” Twitter has banned the personal account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for multiple violations of its COVID-19 misinformation policy. That’s according to a statement Sunday from the company.

The Georgia Republican’s account was permanently suspended under the β€œstrike” 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.

The ban applies to Greene’s personal account, @mtgreenee, but does not affect her official Twitter account, @RepMTG.
