In case you&#8217;re wondering, the list includes Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. But who got banned from Twitter? Here&#8217;s a list of far-right and conservative users who got banned from Twitter. Read on to find out who they are and why they were banned. And don&#8217;t forget to subscribe to their RSS feed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MyPillow_CEO_Mike_Lindell\"><\/span>MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The controversial MyPillow CEO was banned from Twitter today after tweeting about the Trump administration. His political views caused a rift in the company&#8217;s corporate board. Last month, Bob Roepke resigned from the board after serving for three or four years. He cited health concerns and a desire to focus on his own company as the reasons for his decision. Lindell&#8217;s Twitter account remains suspended, though he has announced plans to return.<\/p>\n<p>A resuspended MyPillow CEO has been spotted on Twitter again. Lindell got banned again for violating the company&#8217;s civic integrity policy and attempted to circumvent the ban by using a corporate account. However, a Twitter spokesperson said the suspension was for repeated violations of the company&#8217;s civic integrity policy. While he is still free to use a personal account, he is prohibited from tweeting about the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rep_Marjorie_Taylor_Greene\"><\/span>Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene got banned from Twitter today for violating Twitter&#8217;s community standards. It&#8217;s unclear why she was banned, but it&#8217;s not the first time that a member of congress has been suspended from the social media website. President Trump was also banned last year after tweeting about rioters attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 in an attempt to overturn the election results. The Twitter policy states that &#8220;a person or entity can&#8217;t spread misinformation or false information.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The social media site introduced a policy about sharing false information regarding the Zika virus and vaccinations. The policy outlines penalties, including escalating punishments (known as strikes), and a permanent ban if a user repeatedly spreads false information. Twitter has repeatedly banned politicians and other prominent users for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories. The site also banned former president Donald Trump from Facebook in January for promoting a baseless conspiracy theory.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OKeefe\"><\/span>O&#8217;Keefe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>James O&#8217;Keefe, founder of Project Veritas, has been banned from Twitter. This is a result of a video he published in which a CNN camera director went on a Tinder date with an undercover operative. O&#8217;Keefe was accused of operating fake accounts to promote his work, and has threatened to sue the social network.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter has now permanently banned James O&#8217;Keefe. His account has been suspended for violating its rules against spamming and platform manipulation. O&#8217;Keefe has since stated that he will sue Twitter for defamation. However, Twitter hasn&#8217;t given him an official reason for banning him. The site allows users to have both personal and professional accounts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Roger_Stone\"><\/span>Roger Stone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As it turns out, Roger Stone has been banned from Twitter. This ban may have something to do with the tweets he makes on Twitter. Apparently, Stone had two other accounts. Both remain active, but some of his tweets are embedded in stories. The tweets themselves have been updated with Stone&#8217;s legal comments. Let&#8217;s look at the details. Let&#8217;s see how this ban affects Stone&#8217;s Twitter profile.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why Stone got banned from Twitter today is because of his recent tweets. Whether he got banned for using vulgar language on the social media site or because of his controversial comments, Stone has a history of dirty tricks. One of the most infamous of these is his attack on New Yorker and CNN journalists. However, despite his long-standing history of dirty tricks, Stone&#8217;s followers still believe his account is legitimate.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OKeefes_congressional_account\"><\/span>O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s congressional account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The suspension of O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s account was unexpected, but not surprising. The account&#8217;s latest tweets contained information about a former Hillary Clinton staffer who admitted the campaign was too lax when it came to sexual abuse. Though he never made personal attacks against Clinton, he still argues that Twitter is censoring conservative speech. O&#8217;Keefe claims that Twitter&#8217;s recent decision to suspend 70,000 accounts promoting QAnon ideas is part of a larger trend of banning conservative speech.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to ban O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s account came after the conservative media organization Project Veritas was also suspended for repeatedly violating the company&#8217;s privacy policies. Twitter&#8217;s policy entails that it cannot publish content without the owner&#8217;s explicit permission. However, the lawsuit claims that O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s tweets are misleading. It is unclear if Twitter will reinstate other accounts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trumps_account\"><\/span>Trump&#8217;s account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A number of people are wondering why Donald Trump&#8217;s account got banned from Twitter today. One theory is that Trump was using Twitter to fuel racist &#8220;birtherism&#8221; conspiracy theories. Twitter banned the account for inciting violence and spreading disinformation. While Trump himself has denied any involvement in violence, he&#8217;s been involved in several public incidents where he&#8217;s used Twitter to make false statements. However, the company&#8217;s new policy toward abusive users has some people worried.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement released today, Twitter suspended the account of Donald Trump due to breaches in its rules. Several tweets about Capitol stormers violated these policies, prompting Twitter to suspend his account. Twitter has since removed these posts, but in the meantime, Mr. Trump tweeted twice more, referring to supporters as &#8220;American Patriots&#8221; and a &#8220;giant voice&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"297\" width=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Nd823rHUDzg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Got Banned From Twitter Today?
