‘We’ve been clear that we will take strong enforcement action on behavior that has the potential to lead to offline harm,’ a company spokesperson said.
Twitter disabled accounts belonging to allies of President Donald Trump for spreading QAnon-related content, the company announced Friday, as part of a move to banish all accounts dedicated to content related to the violent conspiracy theory.
Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and former Trump attorney Sidney Powell both had their accounts suspended “in line with our policy on Coordinated Harmful Activity,” a Twitter spokesperson told POLITICO on Friday.
“We’ve been clear that we will take strong enforcement action on behavior that has the potential to lead to offline harm, and given the renewed potential for violence surrounding this type of behavior in the coming days, we will permanently suspend accounts that are solely dedicated to sharing QAnon content,” the spokesperson said.

Both Flynn and Powell have promoted QAnon content on their social media, and Powell’s peddling of conspiracy theories led the Trump campaign to distance itself from her during its challenges of the 2020 elections.
