Twitter has banned the accounts of two conservative figures \u2014 MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and Dr. Vladimir \u201cZev\u201d Zelenko \u2014 shortly after both rejoined the platform. Lindell, who was banned in 2021, rejoined Twitter over the weekend<\/a> and was re-banned a few hours later. Zelenko, who was banned in 2020, also opened an account<\/a> this weekend. <\/p>\n

Twitter confirmed to The Verge<\/em> this morning that it had been permanently suspended. According to the company, the accounts were suspended for violating platform rules against evading bans.<\/p>\n

Twitter\u2019s decision comes as billionaire Elon Musk plans to take control of the company<\/a> and implement looser content restrictions. Musk has publicly criticized Twitter\u2019s head of moderation<\/a> for supporting what he dubbed a \u201cleft-wing bias\u201d on the service. His impending purchase of Twitter has invigorated conservative interest in the platform and raised the possibility that banned figures could return to the platform \u2014 including former president Donald Trump. Influential conservative accounts<\/a> gained followers in the past week, and users like Lindell and Zelenko have already tried rejoining. But the deal isn\u2019t expected to close for several months, and so far, Twitter doesn\u2019t appear to be loosening its rules.<\/p>\n

Lindell was originally suspended for violating Twitter\u2019s rules against election misinformation. The CEO has helped spearhead a movement to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and he\u2019s been sued for defamation over numerous false claims about voting machine companies Dominion<\/a> and Smartmatic<\/a>. Following his ban, he told Insider<\/em><\/a> that the decision was a \u201cshame\u201d and former Twitter head Jack Dorsey \u201cshould be first in line for prison.\u201d (Dorsey stepped down as CEO<\/a> last year.) Zelenko, who became known for promoting an unproven COVID-19 treatment<\/a>, was originally banned<\/a> for violating rules on platform manipulation and spam.<\/p>\n

Musk has laid out a somewhat nebulous vision<\/a> for Twitter\u2019s future, but he\u2019s specifically criticized permanent bans for the service. So it\u2019s plausible that accounts like Lindell\u2019s and Zelenko\u2019s could eventually return to Twitter \u2014 just not for some time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
