- The online platform Twitter has permanently blocked the personal account of the Republican US MP Marjorie Taylor Greene.
- The reason for this is repeated violations of the rules to combat false information about the corona pandemic, as a company spokesman said.
- Twitter had already blocked her account four times. The fifth lock that has now taken place is permanent.
- The supporter of ex-President Donald Trump is an advocate of conspiracy theories.
Greene’s personal account recently had almost half a million followers. The MP still has access to her official Twitter account with almost 400,000 followers.
Since she was elected at the end of 2020, Greene has repeatedly made provocative remarks. A few months ago, she compared protective measures in the corona pandemic with the persecution of Jews by the Nazis. She later apologized for that.
With regard to the measures to combat pandemics, she repeatedly speaks of “compulsory masks” and “compulsory vaccinations”. In the House of Representatives, she refuses to wear a mask and has already had to pay several fines.
