Twitter Targets QAnon: Nukes 7,000 Accounts, Restricts 150,000 More
• Zero Hedge - Tyler DurdenAccording to NBC News, the 7,000 QAnon account bans were in response to "breaking its rules on targeted harassment," while the 150,000 other accounts will no longer appear in 'recommended follows,' nor will any of their content be included in 'trends' and search.
We've been clear that we will take strong enforcement action on behavior 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.

NBC News' Ben Collins and Brandy Zadrozny point to the recent harassment of "TV personality and author Chrissy Teigen," who deleted 60,000 tweets after her history of sexualizing children, frequent pizza references, and an unsupported rumor that she flew on Jeffrey Epstein's 'lolita express' resulted in QAnon followers and others suggesting she's a pedophile.
