Twitter suspends Flynn and Powell. And others. [View all]

Link to tweet

BREAKING: Twitter is taking dramatic action on remaining QAnon accounts for breaking their "Coordinated Harmful Activity" rules, some of whom heavily promoted Wednesday's storming of the Capitol.

Mike Flynn, Sidney Powell, 8kun's Ron Watkins banned.

Twitter's statement below:

EDIT: Corrected "bans" to "suspends" because the Tweet itself isn't accurate. But they are suspended.
