    Twitter on Monday evening temporarily suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after she shared misinformation about Covid-19 and vaccines, a company spokesperson told CNN.
    The Georgia Republican, who has a track record of incendiary rhetoric, will not be able to tweet for 12 hours due to Twitter's policy against people who repeatedly share misinformation.
    The social media platform had labeled two tweets from Greene as "misleading" in recent days. If she continues to share misinformation about Covid-19 through her Twitter account, Greene could be suspended from the platform permanently.
    (Emphasis added)

    Long overdue.

    Hopefully, Greene doesn't get the memo and tweets something that ends in a Permanent Banning.

    Do you agree with Twitter's decision?

    On Twitter you can call for the destruction of Israel and America, you can organize blm riots, looting and arson, you can tell just about any lie imaginable about Trump, but you can’t express an opinion about the China virus.

    AJ, your link is dead.

    Twitter declares access to its platform a 'human right' amid censorship of conservatives

    first, since Twitter isn't under any fairness guidelines then they can do as they please. Since Twitter likes posts from Democrat voters and suspends opposing viewpoints, they can do that. This makes it a non story

    The real story within this story is the verbiage from ......wait for it.............CNN
    The Georgia Republican, who has a track record of incendiary rhetoric

    find me one time that CNN used similar language on a Democrat

    As a Democrat voter, do you ever take pause and pay attention to the words used by your Democrat news sources? Have you ever considered that you are being manipulated?

    I didn't read whatever is in that link. I think she is an attention wh*re and kinda childish.

    Beyond that, I'm not entirely sure I understand why this is newsworthy. Even the dumbest people can figure out something to do for 12 hours.

    You can see (below):.

    Hmmm...Lemme see...

    Maybe CNN doesn't use "similar language" because Democratic Members of Congress AREN'T Looney Toon QAnon Whackjobs (like Greene)?
    ^That would be my guess...

    "Manipulated"?

    In the same way that I feel "manipulated: into believing that "2+2=4".

    Some on the left wing are so hypocritical. They think they alone have the wisdom of truth, the wisdom of knowledge and forbearance. And so in that line of thinking they can determine what is true and what is a lie, and they can easily censor or restrict others, while touting themselves as tolerant of other people's viewpoints.

    How about flagging our Vice President Hore-milla Harris for her statements on taking the vaccine... Can anyone successfully flag her for saying that she will Not take the vaccine if the current sitting president of the United States of America advises....

    Obviously Youtube has edited somewhat of the original remarks - but enough remains to be remarkable... So - President Biden ~ Go F'off in your assertions and advisement.... Your VP has set the standard for the general public.

    Wow. You support such censorship?

    Tell us what she said that was so bad so we all know what the "lie" is.

    Got threads on this across the internet and none of them say what she said. :censored: don't even know what she said. She is a republican so banning and censoring her is okay.

    Am I right? You don't even know what she said?

    Huh?

    Her statements are still up on Twitter (they are just flagged).

    Have you ever heard of Google?
    It sounds like you haven't been doing your research.:bored:

    So, I am assuming in your "cryptic code" that :censored: = Republicans.

    And, Republicans don't know what she said?
    Wow.:smh:

    How is that possible in the age of Google?
    When her posts are still on Twitter (but just flagged)?

    There seems to be an Internet-Wide Epidemic of ridiculously misguided comments (based on shoddy, or no, research).

    NO. You are Dead WRONG

    Of Course I KNOW, What was posted.

    Have you ever heard of Google?

    • The tweets are still displayed on her account, but with a "misleading" tag.

    Tell us what she said and why it is wrong. I checked your link and totally agree with her post.

    Her twitter post, today, read:
    You can feel Dems & the Fake News Media starting to spread panic bc they want to control you. They’re demanding mandatory masks & vaccines for every worker, child, & church in America.

    Is that true? Are Dems and MSM making vaccines mandatory for every worker, child and church in America? If not, then it is misinformation.

    What Twitter did and what CNN publicized are Greene's comments. Her comments probably got more attention because of the ban and CNN needing something to bang her with.

    But, according to YOU (in a previous post), you claimed:

    "Got threads on this across the internet and none of them say what she said"

    ^Where were you reading these "theads" "across the internet"?

    When, Greene's posts were STILL visible on Twitter?

    It sounds to me like those "threads" (which you referred to) "across the internet" were based on misinformation and shoddy research.

    That is why (like I always do myself), I recommend that people do their OWN research before commenting on a topic.

    If you checked the link, you know what she said and don't need to be told.
    Here's what I have a problem with. 609,529 deaths out of 34,174,774 cases but (as you said) 6,000 deaths out of 338,491,374 vaccines. You do the math. MTG and Republicans and Fox News don't give a rat's ass about the public. They only want votes. They only want power. Bet she's vaccinated. All this talk about freedom of choice and freedom of speech by them is total BS. Like someone said, she got more attention about this than the post itself. THAT's what she cares about. That is exposure, which means money, which means getting on Fox or podcasts or whatever (so give me a break about "freedom of speech") which means ratings for all which means MONEY.
    Like a wise man (Don Ohlmeyer) once said....."The answer to all your questions is money".
    She said the military shouldn't have to take it. Why not, they take a lot of others but now she wraps herself in the flag and keep sending those checks because she's looking out for our brave soldiers.
    She said 6000 deaths.......according to who.......regardless....do the math.
    Not dangerous for the non obese and those under 65............609,529 dead WITH extraordinary measures to try to avoid any. What would the numbers be if we did nothing. How many die of the flu every year with life as normal and the original strain is 10x worse and the Delta is worse than that.
    But you don't have a problem with any of this because you have "educated" yourself. Did your doctor say it was OK ?
    What's really ironic is she and Fox are the ones controlling a large portion of the population......simply for profit and politics.
