In a statement tweeted from its @TwitterSafety account, Twitter announced on Tuesday night that “we’ve been clear that we will take strong enforcement action on behaviour that has the potential to lead to offline harm”, and that QAnon activity met that definition. “We will permanently suspend accounts Tweeting about these topics that we know are engaged in violations of our multi-account policy, coordinating abuse around individual victims, or are attempting to evade a previous suspension – something we’ve seen more of in recent weeks.” QAnon is an overarching term for a complex collection of conspiracy theories revolving around an international satanic cabal whose members – believed by followers to include the Clintons, George Soros and Oprah Winfrey — covertly kidnap and breed children for their own cannibalistic and sexual purposes. Followers interpret online message board posts from a mysterious figure, “Q”, whom many of them believe to be close to Donald Trump – or even Mr Trump himself. One of the key characters in the conspiracy theory is disgraced former national security adviser Michael Flynn, whom many QAnon supporters believe to be a covert leader of the “digital soldiers” fighting the “deep state”.
