Twitter temporarily suspends Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for vaccine misinformation

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/07/19/politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-twitter-ban/index.html

(CNN)Twitter on Monday evening temporarily suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after she shared misinformation about Covid-19 and vaccines, a company spokesperson told CNN.

The Georgia Republican, who has a track record of incendiary rhetoric, will not be able to tweet for 12 hours due to Twitter's policy against people who repeatedly share misinformation.

The social media platform had labeled two tweets from Greene as "misleading" in recent days. If she continues to share misinformation about Covid-19 through her Twitter account, Greene could be suspended from the platform permanently.
