Alba obtained a statement from Twitter confirming that Rep. Greene’s account was removed due to “repeated violations” on their policy revolving around COVID “misinformation.”
“We permanently suspended the account you referenced (@mtgreenee) for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy. We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy.”
While the specific context of each purported violations of Twitter’s terms of service was shared by the company, apparently, Rep. Greene had violated the policy on at least five different occasions before her personal account was removed.
However, her official account pertaining to her role in Congress is still active on the platform.
More: Twitter also confirms she still has access to her official account @RepMTG, as it's not currently in violation of the Twitter Rules.
But Twitter has banned accounts before (notably Trump) for ban evasion. So if violating tweets appear there, it'll likely be suspended too.

Posting from her Gettr account, Rep. Greene addressed the Twitter suspension, alluding that her offending post that prompted her removal was merely citing VAERS data – while also pointing out the platform’s hypocrisy with respect to how they’ve treated certain Democrats regarding ostensibly violating posts.
“When Maxine Waters can go to the streets and threaten violence on Twitter, Kamala and Ilhan can bail out rioters on Twitter, and Chief spokesman for terrorist IRGC can tweet mourning Soleimani, but I get suspended for tweeting VAERS statistics, Twitter is an enemy to America and can’t handle the truth. That’s fine, I’ll show America we don’t need them, and it’s time to defeat our enemies.”
Conservative commentator and podcast host Wayne Dupree shared his opinion regarding the permanent suspension of Rep. Greene on Twitter, writing, “it’s not like she didn’t see this coming. Greene has been pushing the social media platform on this action for a while now, so expect to see her more on the alternative platforms sooner rather than later.”
Raheem J. Kassam, editor-in-chief of The National Pulse, cited that this recent action by the social media company serves as another call-to-action to address big tech.
“New Year, new election interference. Big Tech must be stopped now. I don’t mean ‘reigned in.’ The S230 stuff is a bandaid for a lost limb at this point. Whither, the conservative leader with loud effective trust-busting solutions?”

Red Voice Media would like to make a point of clarification on why we do not refer to any shot related to COVID-19 as a "vaccine." According to the CDC, the definition of a vaccine necessitates that said vaccine have a lasting effect of at least one year in preventing the contraction of the virus or disease it's intended to fight. Because all of the COVID-19 shots thus far available have barely offered six months of protection, and even then not absolute, Red Voice Media has made the decision hereafter to no longer refer to the Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson substances as vaccinations.
