Twitter Bans Accounts Associated with Conspiracy Community QAnon
Summary
Twitter announced this week that it’s removing or restricting more than 150,000 accounts associated with QAnon -- an extremist, far right internet community that perpetuates conspiracy theories about pedophilic, Satan-worshipping elites seeking to take over the country.

We’ll explore what QAnon is and where it came from, and we’ll talk about the impact of Twitter’s ban.
