You can read about Mike Lindell, Steve K. Bannon, and Dr. Vladimir &#8220;Zelenko&#8221; Zelenko. Here&#8217;s what you should know about each of them. Also, read about why these three people have been banned. They all have something to say and may have gotten banned for promoting their own political agenda.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Steven_K_Bannon\"><\/span>Steven K. Bannon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The former Breitbart CEO was recently banned from Twitter after comments he made about Islam. He once told the Vatican that the West is at war with jihadist Islamic fascism. He also alleged that Islamist sympathizers have infiltrated the U.S. government and news media. &#8220;We must do whatever we can to protect the United States and the American people from radical Islam,&#8221; Bannon said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, President Trump&#8217;s former campaign chief and senior adviser, Stephen K. Bannon, made controversial comments about FBI director Christopher Wray and infectious-disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci. The comments were considered anti-democratic and barbaric. The comments were live for hours before Twitter banned the account. Trump&#8217;s supporters have since pushed conspiracy theories about voter fraud. Despite these attacks, the president&#8217;s followers have remained loyal to him.<\/p>\n<p>While Bannon has been banned from social media, the president&#8217;s tweets about &#8220;Freedom of Speech&#8221; have not been. In addition to his comments regarding free speech, he has also called for the arrest of Twitter&#8217;s CEO. His tweets on the US election and Vice President Mike Pence&#8217;s reelection were not banned from Twitter, but four of them were hidden because of disputed content and could be misleading about the election and the civic process.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mike_Lindell\"><\/span>Mike Lindell<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The company Twitter recently banned from its website has removed Mike Lindell&#8217;s account permanently. Lindell, the CEO of the bedding company MyPillow, has been battling disinformation on Twitter since perpetuating the false claim that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election. The move comes as Twitter is taking a stand against fake news and disinformation, having banned nearly 70,000 accounts for spreading misinformation. The ban evasion policy prohibits users from creating new accounts, which Lindell did.<\/p>\n<p>Lindell has continued to make election fraud claims on Twitter, threatening to file a lawsuit and face board resignation from his company. His MyPillow brand has been dropped by many prominent retailers because of low demand. However, Lindell is still pushing his conspiracy theories, which were thoroughly debunked after the election. In fact, Lindell&#8217;s election-fraud claims have been refuted by more than 90 judges, and the US Justice Department found no evidence of widespread voter fraud.<\/p>\n<p>The tweets from Lindell have caused concern among conservatives. Trump&#8217;s supporters have criticized Twitter for its role in regulating disinformation and hate speech. Elon Musk&#8217;s recent announcement that he&#8217;d buy the company for $44 billion, however, has revived criticism of Twitter. Lindell has also been active on the site, hosting rallies for the president and going on TV shows to push unsubstantiated claims about Trump.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dr_Vladimir_Zelenko_Zelenko\"><\/span>Dr. Vladimir &#8220;Zelenko&#8221; Zelenko<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A Nobel Prize nominee, Dr. Vladimir Zelenko was diagnosed with pulmonary artery sarcoma in 2018. This disease, which causes a heart-attack, is deadly and has a mortality rate of 10 percent. He underwent a difficult chemotherapy treatment and had open heart surgery. He has undergone additional chemotherapy and has a schedule of more surgeries in 2020. The Zelenko Freedom Foundation, which funds his social activities, has suspended his Twitter account, citing the doctor&#8217;s comments and contentious nature.<\/p>\n<p>He has been banned from Twitter after tweeting about his treatment for COVID-19. It was developed by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko and included the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine. The combination of the three drugs was formulated to eliminate the symptoms of COVID-19. The doctors prescribed the combination treatment to over 7,000 patients with COVID-19. In a video interview with WND, Dr. Zelenko explained the protocol and its success rates.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter has not changed their policies since Elon Musk purchased the company for $44 billion. However, the account of Dr. Zelenko&#8217;s nonprofit foundation has been suspended. Twitter has claimed that the suspension was due to &#8220;ban evasion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xIqYT3jB26c\" width=\"463\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"259\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Has Twitter Banned?
