MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell Permanently Banned From Twitter

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell became the latest to lose his Twitter account when he was banned Monday night for allegedly violating the company’s new “civic integrity policy.”

“The account you referenced has been permanently suspended due to repeated violations of our Civic Integrity Policy,” a Twitter spokesperson toldCNN, referencing the rule instituted after the Capitol riot by which the social media giant can ban accounts that claim the 2020 election was stolen.

“You may not use Twitter’s services for the purpose of manipulating or interfering in elections or other civic processes,” the company admonishesusers on its website. “This includes posting or sharing content that may suppress participation or mislead people about when, where, or how to participate in a civic process. In addition, we may label and reduce the visibility of Tweets containing false or misleading information about civic processes in order to provide additional context.”

Content forbidden under the civic integrity policy includes “misleading information about how to participate,” “suppression and intimidation,” as well as “misleading information about outcomes.”

“For severe or repeated violations of this policy, accounts will be permanently suspended,” Twitter further warns.
