The company permanently suspended thousands of accounts associated with the fringe conspiracy theory movement. Facebook was said to be preparing to take similar action.
OAKLAND, Calif. — Twitter said Tuesday evening that it had removed thousands of accounts that spread messages about the conspiracy theories known as QAnon, saying their messages could lead to harm and violated Twitter policy.
Twitter said it would also block trends related to the loose network of QAnon conspiracy theories from appearing in its trending topics and search, and would not allow users to post links affiliated with the theories on its platform.
It was the first time that a social media service took sweeping action to remove content affiliated with QAnon, which has become increasingly popular on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
Facebook is preparing to take similar steps to limit the reach of QAnon content on its platform, said two Facebook employees with knowledge of the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The company has been coordinating with Twitter and other social media companies and plans to make and announcement next month, the employees said. Facebook declined to comment.
The QAnon theories stem from an anonymous person or group of people who use the name “Q” and claim to have access to government secrets that reveal a plot against President Trump and his supporters. That supposedly classified information was initially posted on message boards before spreading to mainstream internet platforms and has led to significant online harassment as well as physical violence.

As we all know, Q is a byproduct of Pizza Gate, which is a byproduct of the Sandy Hook conspiracy theories, which.... certifigate, which ... 9/11, which Kennedy assassination, which.....
Q was just the latest gimmicky theory that bored people glommed onto so as to feel important.

ROFL.
Cool story, bro.
Too late, they just silenced the loudest 150k.
When it’s complete, they’ll be coming for us.
We’ve just had our most vocal identified and silenced.
Your turn next.
We been trying. Time now to batten down the hatches.
( Yes, I’m among the censored 150k. )
You will have to be the voices on Twitter to save the children
now that we’ve been taken out of the narrative.
If they are to be saved, that is. That’s what it’s all been about.
The choice to know, and act, was always yours.
~Easy
Oh God. Dear God. You’re right.
If only I had trusted the plan. If only I had trusted Sessions.
(sob)
This is blatant election tampering.

Love this, gives me an idea...
I would like to see a meme with “Bingo” cards with these on them to play false argument Bingo. You play by posting the meme and hashtag The false argument to the leftist’s tweet.
It seems to make a lot of very powerful people awfully furious for a "silly little Koffee Klatch."
Including virtually every mainstream media outlet, and the Big Tech social media platforms, and Hollywood...
So furious that the silly little Koffee Klatch MUST BE SILENCED.
You don't find that even a bit curious?
It’s not Q that liberals have a problem with. It’s the conservatives behind that little group.
ANY group of conservatives; whether it be Q, or RINO’s, or libertarians, or truthers, or TEA Parties, or even us folks here at FR pose a danger to their hateful way of life.
So the leftists target Q, and everyone else, for extinction.
Truth is never the enemy.
Wonder why your comment was pulled then. Were you born a jackass or did you have to acquire the trait through hard work and continuous practice? People who double down on stupid are a special kind of special and really should wear protective headgear lest they bump their noggins and lose the last few remaining brain cells.
I don’t know about any comment disappearing but if it did then I would attribute that to “Trust Sessions” censorship.
You can go on and “Trust Sessions” and believe grifters telling you Hillary was arrested in 2017 and is circling GITMO since for all I care.
