Twitter says its automated technology made a “mistake” in suspending Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) Account for 12 hours, which her office says started around 1 AM.
Why it matters: Greene’s office claimed on Friday that Twitter had “no explanation” as to why the account had been suspended. A Twitter spokesperson told Axios on Friday that our automated systems had taken enforcement action on the incorrectly referenced account, “adding,” This action has been reversed and access to the account has been restored. “
The big picture: A resolution filed Friday to expel Greene from the House, led by Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.), Has more than 70 co-sponsors. But the measure hit the bull’s-eye without Republican support.
- Greene has already been removed from her commission assignments. She has also caused concern in Parliament several times by calling for the suspension of motions while business is still to be done, which entails time-consuming votes.
- Greene, whose account was also shelved in January, faced backlash over her controversial comments and previous support for the QAnon conspiracy theory.
