Twitter has permanently banned My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell's account after he continued to perpetuate the baseless claim that Donald Trump won the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Twitter decided to ban Lindell, who founded bedding company MyPillow, due to "repeated violations" of its civic integrity policy, a spokesperson said in a statement.

The policy was implemented last September to fight disinformation.

It wasn't immediately clear which of Lindell's tweets triggered the suspension of his account.

Lindell, an ardent Trump supporter, has continued to insist that the presidential election was rigged even after President Biden took office.
