Firebrand Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been suspended from Twitter for a week for spreading COVID-19 vaccine misinformation, marking the latest battle between Big Tech platforms and politicians over public health related censorship.
Twitter has a five strike policy on COVID-19 misinformation, and Greene is on her fourth strike, which results in a seven-day account lock. The Georgia Republican frequently tweets controversial and misleading anecdotes regarding the coronavirus and vaccines.
"These vaccines are failing & do not reduce the spread of the virus & neither do masks," Greene said in a tweet on Monday night.
She also tweeted that the Food and Drug Administration should not approve the coronavirus vaccines because "there are too many reports of infection & spread of #COVID19 among vaccinated people."
