    Twitter (TWTR) has suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's account for one week following another violation of the platform's rules, the company said Tuesday.
    Greene tweeted on Monday that the Food and Drug Administration "should not approve the covid vaccines." She also claimed the vaccines were "failing" and that they were ineffective at reducing the virus's spread.
    In response, Twitter labeled the tweet as misleading and prevented Greene from tweeting for one week.
    The tweet, a company spokesperson said, "was labeled in line with our COVID-19 misleading information policy. The account will be in read-only mode for a week due to repeated violations of the Twitter Rules."

    Great decision by Twitter.

    Hopefully, she fails to get the message that her Tinfoil Hat Crap doesn't fly on Twitter,.
    Then, when she violates the Rules again, it will be a Perma-Ban.

    Win/Win all the way around.

    She is factually correct that the vaccines do not stop the spread. The jackboots don’t like spreading facts.

    Isn’t Arkansas one of those states where they cannot use DNA evidence because they all have the same DNA :p (apologies people of Arkansas - I gather though the same joke is told there about people from Idaho)

    Greene's Tinfoil Hat Crap belongs at one of those social media Penal Colonies for people who can't follow the rules.
    Like Gab, Parler, Etc...

    Get in where you fit in...

    Who would have imagined that a public company would act like a child and "punish" its customers. It boggles my mind. Even scarier is that people flock to the site. Amazing.

    You could have your medical license taken away with statements like that.

    Censorship by proxy is no different than government censorship.

    It's not surprising I recently got a 3-day Facebook ban because someone posted a video of some thieves outside of someone's house late at night and I said someone needs to take a bullwhip to their ass.

    Oh please. You know damn well that it's a private company that accepted her into it's business and she became an unruly customer. That's it.

    Hey, I think this lady is nuts

    BUT

    She did nothing wrong. She has the right to voice her opinion that the vaccines should not be given full approval. This isn't Nazi Germany. And, she is actually correct that the vaccines are failing to stop the spread of the Delta variant. There is much info coming out now that breakthrough cases are in the range of 40%-60% and that all of the vaccines work in varying degrees as to stopping Delta but, in general, there is a very high percentage of breakthrough cases. Now the vaccines do help stop severe cases, hospitalizations, and deaths but she didn't say anything about that, she merely told the truth.

    Twitter is a Private Company.

    If you don't follow the Rules, you get banned.

    Why is that so hard for some people to understand?

    Censoring politicians is political. Have you lost your common sense?

    It Is NOT "Censoring".

    Greene can post her Tinfoil Hat Crap elsewhere...

    Whether it be handing out flyers on street corners or training a fleet of New Generation Carrier Pigeons...

    Twitter is "Censoring" nobody.

    Follow the Rules, or take a hike...

    It is classic censorship. Sorry. I don't need to take a hike. I have never posted on Twitter.

    WRONG.

    It isn't "Censorship".

    The Whole "Twitter Bans are Censorship" crap is just sour grapes from the RW who are mad that the LW beat them to the punch in inventing Twitter.

    Get real.

    Politicians aren't the only ones censored by Twitter. THAT is common sense or do you think they are above everyone else.
