Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., announced Sunday that Twitter's permanent ban on the personal account of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is "a little too late" to erase the harm done by the spread of COVID-19 "disinformation" on social media.

Jayapal, who chairs the Progressive Congressional Caucus, responded to the news of Greene's ban on MSNBC's "The Sunday Show," stating that social media companies have to be doing "much, much more" to stop the spread of conspiracy theories online.

"It's no secret that our social media companies have been part of their algorithms promoting disinformation," she said. "And I think that these steps are important but, frankly, a little too little and a little too late.”

"The reality is it'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," she went on. "And so if we are going to take on the disinformation that's out there, the big lie, and everything that goes along with it, then yes, this is a part of it but it's got to be much, much more."

"That said, I think it's just as well that we take one voice that is deliberately spreading disinformation out of the mix as much as possible," she continued. "That's certainly a good thing."

Twitter declared earlier Sunday that it had permanently suspended Greene's personal verified Twitter account for spreading COVID-19 "misinformation."

"We permanently suspended Marjorie Taylor Greene for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy," Twitter announced in a statement. "We've been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy."

Greene's congressional Twitter account, @RepMTG, is still active.

The Georgia congresswoman responded to the conclusion on GETTR, a Conservative social media platform established by Jason Miller, a former aide and spokesman of former President Donald Trump.

"When Maxine Waters can go to the streets and threaten violence on Twitter, Kamala and Ilhan can bail out rioters on Twitter, and Chief spokesman for terrorist IRGC can tweet mourning Soleimani but I get suspended for tweeting VAERS statistics, Twitter is an enemy to America and can't handle the truth," Greene wrote. "That's fine, I'll show America we don't need them and it's time to defeat our enemies."

On Saturday, Greene had tweeted regarding an "extremely high amount of covid vaccine deaths" that she announced are "ignored," Rolling Stone reported.

Twitter had repeatedly temporarily suspended Greene's account throughout the pandemic for claimed misinformation.

Most recently, in August, she was suspended for one week and threatened with a permanent ban after she said COVID-19 vaccines were "failing."
