Facebook suspended Marjorie Taylor Greene temporarily, one day following her Twitter ban.
Greene’s personal Twitter account was permanently suspended “for repeated violations of [Twitter’s] COVID-19 misinformation policy.”
Greene called the move censorship by Big Tech.
“Social media platforms can’t stop the truth from being spread far and wide,” she said. Big Tech cannot stop the truth. Communist Democrats are unable to stop the truth. I support the truth and all people. “We will prevail!”
Greene was later punished with a 24-hour suspension on Facebook for allegedly violating a similar policy on so-called COVID-19 “misinformation.” During this time Greene cannot post on her account.
“Facebook has joined Twitter in censoring me,” Greene wrote on GETTR. “This is beyond censorship of speech.”
An apparent screenshot of the message she sent was attached. It stated that she couldn’t post for 24 hours.
“Who appointed Twitter and Facebook to be the authorities of information and misinformation?” she added. “When Big Tech decides what political speech of elected Members is accepted and what’s not then they are working against our government and against the interest of our people.”
For its part, Facebook’s parent company Meta said it took down a post of Greene’s but did remove her account.
“A post violated our policies and we have removed it; but removing her account for this violation is beyond the scope of our policies,” Aaron Simpson said in a statement according to Politico.
Kevin McCarthy, House Minority leader, spoke out against this ban. However, he didn’t mention Greene personally.
“It is clear any speech that does not fit Big Tech’s orthodoxy gets muzzled. America is poorer for that conduct,” he said.
McCarthy said House Republicans will “take action” against Big Tech.
“House Republicans will be ready to take action that protects Americans when they express their constitutionally safeguarded views, just like we have laws on the books today that prohibit discrimination by corporations in many other contexts,” he said.
