MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell permanently suspended on Twitter
Inside Paper ^ | January 26, 2021 | Brendan Byrne

Twitter announced on Monday that it has suspended the account of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell who is an avid Trump accomplice and conspiracy advocate. Twitter has recently come up with a new policy after the Capitol revolt in early January banning accounts that spread misinformation regarding US elections.

Banned over repeated violations of Twitter’s Civic Integrity Policy

According to the Twitter spokesperson, the permanent ban was implemented on Lindell’s account due to the fact that the account was constantly violating the company’s civic integrity policy. Lindell who is a founder of a bedding company, MyPillow, had a following of over 480,000 on his Twitter account. He is a passionate Trump supporter and continued to voice false claims about the victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential election of 2020. Lindell insisted that the US presidential election was fixed even after the new administration under Joe Biden’s rule was started. The decision was based on several tweets by Lindell stating baseless information about the election rigging however it is still not clear which tweet triggered the Twitter ban.

Lindell also facing potential legal action from Dominion Voting Systems for his claims that their voting machines were involved in apparent election fraud. He was the one to persuade Trump to impose martial law in Minnesota to acquire its ballots and withdraw the election. Most of the prominent retailers like Bed Bath & Beyond and Kohl have decided to stop stocking MyPillow’s products in their stores from last week.

Twitter has been taking strong action against misinformation promoting online and has barred more than 70,000 high-profile accounts. Mr. Donald Trump’s account was also suspended amid concerns that he would use the social media channel to instigate violence.

Tweets after MyPillow CEO suspended on Twitter A user tweeted, “Overheard: Hey, Mike Lindell. So with BBB and Kohl’s ending their relationship with My Pillow, and your account suspended on Twitter, you’re facing some tough times. But hey, idea! Maybe you could sell those pillowcases as hoods!”

A CNN Correspondent said, “Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow, was permanently suspended from Twitter Monday night, according to a Twitter spox, under Twitter’s new policy that began after the insurrection whereby people who repeatedly share election misinformation can be permanently banned.”

One user wrote, “Twitter hit the snooze button on MyPillow CEO”

What would happen if President Trump decided to act just like Twitter and the Presstitutes and go full Jihad on Everything Twitter, their Banks, their Advertisers, anyone connected to them.... President Trump has a Very Strong 75 Million People that have his back that are fully fed up with the corrupt system.

for Instance, what if Twitter banks with Bank of America and President Trump told his Constituents that Nobody should ever bank there. That would cause a RUN on the Bank, and the Bank of Italy would be insolvent overnight.

There is a Lot of Damage President Trump could inflict on these turds, I hope he does.

The USA is turning into a dictatorship. At this point I have a hard time seeing a difference between the USA and Russia.

Notice how Trump is never referred to in the article as “President “?

Don’t all former statesmen maintain their titles? Hmmmm?

I still go to Twitter to see what the communists are doing. They are really having a party since no one is posting conservative opinions.
Twitter and facebook need to lose their protections.

Inside Paper, that you noted, is Insider, a determined left wing propaganda publication:
WikI: Business Insider was founded in 2007 by Henry Blodget and Kevin P. Ryan. In 2013, Jeff Bezos led an effort to raise $5 million for Business Insider Inc. through his investment company Bezos Expeditions. On September 29, 2015, Axel Springer SE announced that it had acquired 88% of Business Insider for a reported $343 million (€306 million). After the purchase, Springer SE held a 97% stake, and Jeff Bezos held the remaining shares through Bezos Expeditions. As of 2018, Axel Springer owns a 100% stake in Insider Inc. Business Insider Inc.’s name was changed to Insider Inc. in December 2017.

He can sell them to the people who voted for Joe Biden.

I posted this exact same post to my 161 000 followers on Twitter. It got 600 retweets.

On Gab where I have 48 000 followers it has almost 3 000 shares now.

That is the difference between free speech and censorship right there.

So much better engagement here!
