Twitter suspends Marjorie Taylor Greene over 'misleadling' Covid posts
Twitter has temporarily suspended Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene for posting "misleading" information about coronavirus.Ms Greene, a Republican congresswoman, has been an outspoken critic of vaccines and the use of masks.
In two tweets on Monday, she argued that vaccines should not be required, and that Covid was not dangerous for people aged under 65 who are not obese.Ms Greene was suspended from Twitter in April, but the company later rescinded the ban, saying it was a mistake caused by its automated moderation system.
"These Big Tech companies are doing the bidding of the Biden regime to restrict our voices and prevent the spread of any message that isn't state-approved," she said in a statement to the New York Times.Last week, Democratic President Joe Biden urged social media firms to take more action"They're killing people," Mr Biden told reporters.
