<p>Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) said Sunday that it was no secret social media platforms had been actively &#8220;promoting disinformation,&#8221; calling colleague Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene&#8217;s (R-GA) permanent Twitter suspension &#8220;frankly a little too little and a little too late.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://dailywire.com/news/rep-jayapal-biden-should-use-executive-power-to-implement-build-back-better-after-legislation-stalls/">Jayapal</a>, who chairs the House Progressive Caucus, made an appearance with host Jonathan Capehart on MSNBC&#8217;s &#8220;The Sunday Show&#8221; to discuss <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-permanently-boots-marjorie-taylor-greene-over-vaccine-misinformation">Greene&#8217;s suspension</a>, which had been confirmed just hours earlier.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">.<a href="https://twitter.com/RepJayapal?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RepJayapal</a> on Rep. Taylor Greene’s Twitter suspension: “It&#8217;s no secret that our social media companies have been… promoting disinformation, and I think that these steps are important but frankly a little too little and a little too late.” <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SundayShow?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#SundayShow</a> <a href="https://t.co/FO9W5VGsLF">pic.twitter.com/FO9W5VGsLF</a></p>
<p>— The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart (@TheSundayShow) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheSundayShow/status/1477680198116126721?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 2, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Twitter has suspended Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene perm — permanently. Her personal Twitter account,&#8221; Capehart began, reading the statement from Twitter on the subject.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>We permanently suspended the account you referenced (@mtgreenee) for repeated violations of our<a href="https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/medical-misinformation-policy"> COVID-19 misinformation policy.</a> We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;And not to, you know, remain silent, Congresswoman Greene put out her own statement,&#8221; Capehart continued. &#8220;It was a long one, you know, lots of conspiracy theories and craziness, but this is the key line: &#8216;Twitter is an enemy to America and can&#8217;t handle the truth. That&#8217;s fine, I&#8217;ll show America we don&#8217;t need them and it&#8217;s time to defeat our enemies.'&#8221;</p>
<p>Capehart then turned to Jayapal for her reaction to Greene&#8217;s suspension and her statement.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, Jonathan, it’s no secret that our social media companies have been part of their algorithms promoting disinformation, and I think that these steps are important, but frankly, a little too little and a little too late,&#8221; Jayapal said. &#8220;The reality is it&#8217;s not just Marjorie Taylor Greene. All over Twitter, social media, Facebook, all of these companies — have been using algorithms that are just about clickbait, not about truth.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And so if we are going to take on the disinformation that&#8217;s out there, the big lie and everything else that goes with it, then yes, this is a part of it but it&#8217;s got to be much much more,&#8221; Jayapal continued. &#8220;That said, I think it&#8217;s just as well that we take one voice, you know, that is deliberately spreading disinformation, out of the mix as much as possible.&#8221;</p>
<p>Others cheered Greene&#8217;s removal from Twitter as well. <a href="https://twitter.com/ananavarro/status/1477667047752491011">Ana Navarro</a>, CNN contributor and regular host of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View,&#8221; shared an article about Greene&#8217;s permanent suspension with the comment, &#8220;2022 is showing promise.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Star Trek&#8221; actor <a href="https://twitter.com/GeorgeTakei/status/1477652380397277199">George Takei</a> appeared to agree, adding, &#8220;Marjorie Three Names has been suspended from Twitter, and 2022 is already off to a decent start.&#8221;</p>
<p>CNN fact-checker <a href="https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1477648620136669185">Daniel Dale</a> noted that despite the suspension of Greene&#8217;s personal Twitter account, her official congressional account has not been suspended.</p>
<p>&#8220;<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Georgia Rep. </span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Marjorie</span> <span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Taylor</span> <span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">Greene</span><span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0">’s 465K-follower personal Twitter account, the one she used to say lots of false things, has been permanently banned from Twitter. She still has a 386K-follower official account, which she has so far used for comparatively benign purposes,&#8221; he said.</span></p>
