Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, known for bolstering QAnon conspiracy theories, on Sunday accused social media platform Twitter of
censorship after her account was temporarily suspended for ‘multiple violations’.

The 12-hour suspension came after Greene tweeted claims of alleged
election fraud in Georgia, her home state.

“Americans’
rights are being stripped away and they aren’t being heard by the people they
elected to represent them,” Greene said in a statement.

“With
Big Tech silencing them, they literally can’t be heard. If a conservative dares to utter a political opinion that is deemed unapproved by the internet police they are now subject to false accusations of ‘inciting violence’ simply for having a conservative view. The censorship has got to stop.” she added.

Meanwhile, Twitter clarified that the legislator’s social media handle was suspended on the grounds of professing false claims capable of inciting violence which stands against company’s civic integrity policy.

Twitter
flagged at least two of Greene’s tweets labelling as ‘disputed’ and prevented them from
being shared or retweeted, citing that they carried the ‘risk of
violence’.

Greene,
an ardent follower of Donald Trump, is long known for advocating QAnon conspiracy theories in the past and was endorsed by the
president as a ‘future Republican star’.

QAnon theory preachers and followers opine that Trump is waging a secret war against a global liberal
cult of Satan-worshipping pedophiles. They, however, have not offered any credible
evidence to back the claim.

Notably, Greene’s Twitter suspension follows a series of high-profile social media bans and
lockouts in the view of Capitol violence which saw nearly 70,000 accounts with QAnon ties scrubbed out of the platform.

Earlier, Twitter in a blog post revealed that it had premanently suspended many accounts dedicated to sharing QAnon conten considering the violent events in Washington, DC, and increased risk of harm.

In fact, Apple
and Google have also barred downloads of Parler, a Twitter-like app popular
among conservatives, after Amazon kicked the platform off its servers.

Since then, Republicans have been voicing their opposition against tech giants claiming that they are infringing on their right to free
speech.
