Opinion: Twitter’s suspension of Marjorie Taylor Greene was the right move at the right time – CNN

If social networks applied such a rule against misinformation uniformly, it would also send an important signal to other users that they, too, would be putting their accounts at risk by sharing inaccurate information. That would also likely radically stem the flow of false claims.
It isn’t difficult to figure out how social networks can stop the spread of many dangerous deceptions about the coronavirus. But it does require them to show some backbone and be willing to stand up to powerful people when they break the rules. Twitter’s decision on Greene was the right move. Facebook and Twitter have also banned another influential person, former President Donald Trump, but only after his actions on social media contributed to last year’s attack on the Capitol. Now other tech leaders must have the courage to make it this call every time a powerful person uses their platform to endanger people.
