Twitter Has Banned Michael Flynn, Sidney Powell, And Ron Watkins For Spreading QAnon Delusions

The move was first reported by Ben Collins of NBC.
In July, Twitter removed thousands of accounts associated with QAnon and blocked trends relating to the mass delusion.
Today’s move comes days after the platform took unprecedented action against President Donald Trump’s Twitter account. Twitter locked the president’s account, removing his ability to post, for 12 hours after the president incited the insurrection at the Capitol.
