US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Twitter Account Temporarily Suspended After Posting Graphic Referring to “Trans Day of Vengeance

Twitter has temporarily restricted the account of US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after she posted a graphic that referred to a “Trans Day of Vengeance” following a school shooting in Nashville.

Greene posted a screenshot of the notice on her personal account on Tuesday, which said that some of her congressional account’s features were being temporarily suspended for violating Twitter’s rules. The suspension is expected to last for seven days.

Ella Irwin, Twitter’s vice president of product overseeing trust and safety, said the company had conducted a “sweep” to remove more than 5,000 tweets and retweets of the graphic. The post in question, which has since been removed, included a graphic that Greene said was for an antifa event in Washington, D.C., next month.

Twitter has not commented on the specific reasons for the suspension, but it is likely related to the graphic Greene posted, which some have interpreted as a call for violence.

The suspension of Greene’s account has sparked debate among social media users, with some arguing that Twitter should be more consistent in its enforcement of its rules, while others have defended the company’s decision to take action against Greene.

The incident highlights the ongoing debate over how social media companies should handle controversial content posted by public figures. It remains to be seen how Twitter will respond to similar incidents in the future.
