BREAKING: Twitter announces it will permanently suspend 'QAnon' accounts

Twitter Safety tweeted out a series of tweets laying out an update to their policy against posts that have the potential to lead to harm offline, but managed to avoid addressing Antifa and Black Lives Matter in the update, instead focusing on the conspiracy/LARPing group QAnon.

Twitter Safety started with: "We’ve been clear that we will take strong enforcement action on behaviour that has the potential to lead to offline harm. In line with this approach, this week we are taking further action on so-called ‘QAnon’ activity across the service."

Then: "We will permanently suspend accounts Tweeting about these topics that we know are engaged in violations of our multi-account policy, coordinating abuse around individual victims, or are attempting to evade a previous suspension — something we’ve seen more of in recent weeks."

They continued by saying that they would "no longer serve content and accounts associated with QAnon in Trends and recommendations" ... "Work to ensure we’re not highlighting this activity in search and conversations" ... "Block URLs associated with QAnon from being shared on Twitter."

Twitter Safety added to their announcement by tweeting that "these actions will be rolled out comprehensively this week. We will continue to review this activity across our service and update our rules and enforcement approach again if necessary."

This series of tweets did not slide by without backlash, with Twitter user @Elohim_Gadol tweeting that it was ironic "coming from people who allow Ali Khamenei & Louis Farrakhan to freely threaten Jewish People on their platform."

Another Twitter user tweeted: "Now do Antifa."

Here:

Carpe Donktum, who was banned from Twitter, made the same point about the publisher from Parler:

Human Events' Will Chamberlain tweeted, "Here's the problem: you don't enforce this standard anything close to consistently, which means it's just a pretext for banning conservatives."

Another Twitter user asked point blank why Antifa and BLM were not included in the updated policy:

OAN's Jack Posobiec asked "Is the anti-government extremist movement ANTIFA next?"

A user with the moniker Memelord pointed out that there are Antifa-friendly staff at Twitter, suggesting that this may be the reason for the double standard.

It truly raises eyebrows how Twitter chose to address what is considered a right-wing conspiracy in QAnon, but somehow evaded adding Antifa and BLM to the mix—two groups heavily responsible for the destruction and mayhem that have ravaged the country in the form of riots that have led to assault, arson, burglary, vandalism, and even murder.

QAnon followers are dedicated fans of Donald Trump leading many to believe that the move was a direct attack Trump supporters.
