WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) – The online platform Twitter has permanently blocked the personal account of the controversial Republican US MP Marjorie Taylor Greene. The reason is repeated violations of the rules to combat false information about the corona pandemic, said a company spokesman on Sunday. Greene’s personal account (@mtgreenee) recently had almost half a million followers. The MP still has access to her official Twitter account (@RepMTG) with almost 400,000 followers.
Greene is an advocate of conspiracy theories. The supporter of ex-President Donald Trump has repeatedly attracted provocative remarks since her election at the end of 2020. A few months ago, for example, she compared protective measures in the corona pandemic with the persecution of the Jews by the Nazis – for which she later apologized “Forced masks” and “Forced vaccinations”. She refuses to wear mouth and nose protection in the House of Representatives and has therefore already had to pay several fines. Greene also denigrated the left Democratic MP Ilhan Omar from Somalia on Twitter as a terrorist.
Greene had received several warnings because of the spread of false Corona information – for example about vaccinations that were supposedly no longer effective. Twitter had already blocked her account four times. According to company guidelines, the fifth ban is permanent. A year ago, shortly after the US Capitol was stormed, Twitter had also permanently blocked Trump’s account.
The Democratic majority in the House of Representatives removed Greene from all committee positions in February because of her controversial statements – a drastic and extremely rare step. Among other things, she was noticed with theses of the QAnon conspiracy theory./jbz/DP/he
