(32,639 posts)3. Her personal account is permanently suspended
... however she's still allowed on Twitter under her official congressional account @RepMTG
Twitter on Sunday permanently suspended the personal account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., after the company said she had violated its COVID-19 misinformation policies.
Twitter suspended Ms. Greenes account after she tweeted Saturday, falsely, about extremely high amounts of Covid vaccine deaths. She included a misleading chart that pulled information from a government database of unverified raw data called the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS, a decades-old system that relies on self-reported cases from patients and health care providers.
Twitter said that Ms. Greene had a fifth strike, which meant that her account will not be restored. The company had issued her a fourth strike in August after she falsely posted that the vaccines were failing. Ms. Greene was given a third strike less than a month before that when she had tweeted that COVID-19 was not dangerous for people unless they were obese or older than 65, and said vaccines should not be required.
Ms. Greenes official congressional account, @RepMTG, remains active because tweets from that account did not violate the services rules.

(67,782 posts)5. The good thing is that Twitter has much stronger rules and restrictions on official accounts...
For one thing, those with official accounts can't block anyone.
But she's only used that account for press releases, announcements, etc., nothing even close to what she did with her personal account.
Oh how I'm rooting she starts acting/tweeting the same way with her official account. Getting suspended there would be a total humiliation.
