A major storm has erupted in the U.S. in recent hours, after Twitter permanently blocked the personal account of Marjorie Taylor Green, Georgia’s representative in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Green has long been considered a controversial figure, even before she was elected to her current position last summer. About a year ago, she supported former President Donald Trump’s claims that Joe Biden’s victory in the general election was achieved through a massive campaign for fake votes; She was condemned for supporting the conspiracy theory known as Qanon, according to which Democratic politicians, including the Clinton family and senior members of the entertainment industry, conducted an operation to trade minors of minors from a pizzeria in New York; Further condemnations came in the wake of her hint that huge California fires were caused by experimental laser weapons funded by the Jewish Rothschild family; But what ultimately led to its blockade was a violation of Twitter’s ‘misguided’ information policy regarding the Corona plague.

According to Twitter, last summer Green was blocked for 12 hours after violating for the third time the new company’s policy against disseminating misinformation about the plague. The violation was a tweet that the virus is dangerous only for adults and those who are obese (an exaggerated statement, but based on real statistics from the first wave); The fourth violation, which was blocked for a week, came about a month later, after tweeting that vaccines “fail” (a claim whose truth is difficult to determine because it depends on the ever-changing definition of vaccines – prevention of infection, which has already been shown to fail), or disease prevention. Which they achieved with tremendous success); This week she tweeted about “extremely high amounts of corona vaccine deaths” and added a table defined by Twitter as “misleading”, even though it is genuine and taken from an official US government body website.
Katie Roseborough, a Twitter spokeswoman, told the New York Times that “we have made it clear that under our warning system for this policy, we will permanently block accounts of repeated violations of the policy.” She added that Green’s official account, which did not contain the same tweets, has not been blocked so far, but may be blocked if it spreads similar messages. In addition, Twitter has an appeal mechanism, and if Green uses it and succeeds in proving the facts on which it is based – her account “may” return to the air.
In response to the block, Green attacked Twitter – but not on her official account on the social network, apparently due to fear of punishment on the part of the company, but on her telegram channel, which has more than 150,000 followers. According to her, Twitter is “America’s enemy and unable to face the truth” and “social networks can not stop the truth from spreading. The technology giants can not stop the truth. The Communist Democrats can not stop the truth.”
She claimed that Twitter was hypocritical because she blocked it and did not block any Democratic politicians despite their online statements in the past two years (comments in parentheses are by the author): (Harris, the vice president, who in her previous role ran a fundraising campaign to release criminals arrested in the U.S. riots in the spring of 2020) CNN and other Democratic brainwashers can spread lies about a Russian conspiracy (a claim refuted by a special investigation that Trump collaborated with the Russians against Hillary Clinton), and only yesterday the chief spokesman of the terrorist Iranian Revolutionary Guards could tweet a tweet about (Qassem) Suleimani “Tomorrow will be the anniversary of the American attack in which he was killed.”
As you may recall, the first politician to block Twitter permanently was former President Donald Trump, because of the incredible cause of “danger of future incitement to violence” – that is, because of statements he has not yet made, but society feared he would say. Now, it seems that ahead of the anniversary of Trump’s blockade, Twitter is trying to prove that it is not only not taking its hand off the blocking clamp, but even hardening it.
