QAnon: Twitter bans accounts linked to conspiracy theory
originally posted by: kwakakev
Twitter has been on the side of the democratic, deep state for a long time, lots of people have been banned for talking about uncomfortable topics. Well done Q, good to see you over the target.
Having some innocent, unsuspecting citizen wake up one day to a blocked account gives them something to think about. It is a big internet out there and if twitter would rather implode than face facts, its their call.

Do not act surprised when this site is closed down due to "conspiracy" talk.
The suspensions will be applied to accounts that are "engaged in violations of our multi-account policy, coordinating abuse around individual victims, or are attempting to evade a previous suspension - something we've seen more of in recent weeks," it said.
In the last several weeks, Twitter said it has removed more than 7,000 QAnon accounts for violating the company's rules against targeted harassment, spam, platform manipulation and ban evasion.
The suspensions will be applied to accounts 'engaged in violations of our multi-account policy, coordinating abuse around individual victims, or are attempting to evade a previous suspension - something we've seen more of in recent weeks,' Twitter added.
It has caused its followers to trawl through pictures celebrities post online to claim they show proof they are eating children and then mount a harassment campaign against them.
Among those often targeted is TV personality Chrissy Teigan who has been the victim of a type of campaign known as 'swarming' or 'brigading' that Twitter is now banning.
Earlier in July, it targeted the company Wayfair and accused it of trafficking children after a price glitch on the company's site raised the price of pillows and cabinets to tens of thousands of dollars.
Wayfair was trending on Twitter on July 10 and the conspiracy theory continued to rage on TikTok even after the company explained the pricing glitch.
In the last few months, the coronavirus pandemic has allowed for the QAnon movement to gain even more momentum as they join with other online fringe groups such as the anti-vaccination movement.

Good. This is good news. Who ever thinks that Twitter is the bad guy here should take a look in to how Qanon followers behave on Twitter. I say # em all
Information hazards are risks that arise from the dissemination or the potential dissemination of
true information that may cause harm or enable some agent to cause harm. Such hazards are often
subtler than direct physical threats, and, as a consequence, are easily overlooked. They can,
however, be important. T
