Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday said that Facebook
suspended her account for 24 hours, a day after Twitter permanentlysuspended her personal account for spreading COVID-19 misinformation.
On her Telegram account, Greene shared a screenshot of a message from
Facebook stating that she would be barred from posting anything for the
next 24 hours.
“Facebook has joined Twitter in censoring me. This is beyond
censorship of speech,� Greene wrote. “I’m an elected Member of Congress
representing over 700,000 US tax paying citizens and I represent their
voices, values, defend their freedoms, and protect the Constitution.�
In a statement provided to The Hill, a spokesperson for Meta,
Facebook’s parent company, said, “A post violated our policies and we
have removed it; but removing her account for this violation is beyond
the scope of our policies.�
On Sunday, Twitter permanently suspended Greene’s personal account,
citing “repeated violations� of its policies. Greene’s congressional
account is still active. After her account was taken down, Greene called
Twitter the “enemy to America.�
In a Telegram post on Monday, Greene stated that Twitter had
accidentally suspended her account two other times and argued their
claims that she had violated their policies five previous times was
incorrect. She demanded that her personal account be restored
immediately.
