Social media platform Twitter has banned My Pillow chief executive Mike Lindell for violating its policy on election misinformation.
Lindell, who had almost 500,000 followers before his account was suspended, repeatedly made baseless claims of voter fraud in the US presidential election.
According to Reuters, the devout supporter of Donald Trump funded post-election protest movements with the aim of overturning the win of newly appointed president Joe Biden.
Reuters said that in a statement Twitter claimed the My Pillow CEO violated Twitter’s civic integrity policy which led to his suspension.
But two weeks ago Lindell told the news agency that he did not help finance subsequent trips to promote the Jan. 6 rally that devolved into riots as supporters of Trump stormed through the US Capitol building
