Twitter has announced that it will continue its ban on QAnon conspiracy theorist and conservative gadfly Laura Loomer even as she won the primary to become the republican candidate for Florida’s 21st Congressional District, Politico reports.
Loomer was banned from the social media platform for propagating racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic tropes. Besides Twitter, she’s been banned from Facebook and Instagram, as well as financial sites Paypal and Venmo.
While social media companies typically give politicians and elected officials more leeway to use their platforms to keep their constituencies informed.
