A picture on her Telegram channel shows that Facebook had suspended her from posting for 24 hours due to a violation of community standards.
Forbes asked for confirmation of the suspension and details of the policies that may have been violated, but Facebook did not reply.
The account was permanently suspended on Sunday due to repeated violations of the Covid misinformation policies, with the company claiming that he had hit five of the five strikes.
It's not clear what led to the suspension of her account, but she said she was banned from the social networking site because of a post that referenced the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a system of measuring vaccine safety that is frequently used by vaccine skeptics.
She said her Facebook suspension came after a post about VAERS.
Who made Facebook and Twitter the authorities of information and misinformation? On Monday, he said on Telegram.
The key background.
The top two House Republicans were going to take shots at big tech. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said that "any speech that does not fit Big Tech's orthodoxy gets muzzled" while House Minority Whip Steve Scalise said that Republicans plan to hold Big Tech accountable. Republicans are angry that platforms like Facebook and Twitter are taking a harder stance on misinformation, especially when it comes to issues like Covid and false claims of election fraud. She has faced consequences for her previous activity on social media because she has a history of pushing conspiracy theories. In February of 2021, the House voted to strip her of her committee assignments because of her previous support for a conspiracy theory and for endorsing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's execution.
