Twitter permanently suspends Marjorie Taylor Greene?s personal account

The personal Twitter account of the Georgia Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has been permanently suspended, for violating policies on Covid misinformation.

The action against Greene on Sunday came under the "strike" system Twitter launched last March, which uses artificial intelligence to identify posts about the coronavirus misleading enough to cause harm.

Two or three strikes earn a 12-hour account lock, four strikes prompt a weeklong suspension and five or more can get an account permanently removed.

Twitter had previously suspended Greene's account for periods ranging from 12 hours to a week. She was issued a "fourth strike" this summer, for saying vaccines were failing.

The congresswoman's official account remains active.

The Republican is a determined controversialist and extremist who courts controversy and confrontation.

On social media, she has voiced support for racist views, QAnon conspiracy theories such as the lie that the 2020 election was stolen, and calls for violence against Democrats including the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi.
