The Georgia Republican was last month permanently suspended on Twitter under a “strike” system the social media platform launched in March.

Twitter has banned the personal account of outspoken Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene for tweets that repeatedly violated its COVID-19 misinformation policy.

Under the system – Two or three strikes result in a 12-hour account lockout, four strikes prompt a one-week suspension, and five or more can have a person permanently removed from the social media site.

The company had previously suspended the Georgia congresswoman four times in the past.

Greene, a right-wing Republican, had most frequently tweeted from the @mtgreenee handle, which had more than 465,000 followers. She still has access to and can tweet from her official congressional account @RepMTG, which has more than 386,000 followers.

Facebook ban

Taylor Greene has also been banned temporarily on Facebook over a similar issue.

A spokesperson for Meta, Facebook’s parent company, said Facebook removed one of Greene’s posts about COVID.

“A post violated our policies and we have removed it; but removing her account for this violation is beyond the scope of our policies,” the spokesperson said.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
