In another stunning act of partisan censorship, My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell has now been permanently suspended from Twitter.

His alleged crime? Supposed violations of the companies rules on spreading so-called ‘election misinformation.’

As Minneapolis Star Tribune reports:

Mike Lindell, the Minnesota businessman and backer of former President Donald Trump, said Tuesday that Twitter’s decision to permanently suspend him is the climax of an intentional, weekslong effort by the social media company to silence him and added it will not stop his efforts to prove the 2020 presidential election was rigged.

Lindell, who founded Chaska-based My Pillow Inc., told the Star Tribune that he was locked out of his Twitter account for nearly two weeks before regaining control of it Monday.

“They froze me out. Everyone thought it was still up, but I couldn’t like or do anything,” Lindell said. “They really had already banned me without the public knowing. I don’t want Jack Dorsey tweeting for me.”

A Twitter spokesman told the Associated Press early Tuesday that it suspended Lindell’s account due to “repeated violations” of its civic integrity policy. The policy was implemented last September and is targeted at fighting disinformation.

  1. “Repeated violations” of its civic integrity policy? Hardly! It’s censorship! A common theme in all dictatorships! Today it’s Mr. Lindell, tomorrow it’s you!

  2. So I guess they will permanently suspend all users who promoted the Russia Collusion lie, right???? RIGHT!! What a crock!!

  3. is this article some kind of Joke??? Mike Pence- the biggest hypocrite of ALL TIME…..homeless? seriously? what crac pipe are you hittin man? that man has so much money & friends & ppl that know him & his wife & his grown children. He cannot be almost homeless- or hungry. So, who writes & report this insanely incorrect information?

    1. correction to my 1st post- RE: mike pence & mike Lindel- I was responding to another article about Mike Pence & used his name by accident in my post above.

  4. My pillow doesn’t need twit jerks. We can get his products by ordering on line. Go to hell dorsey and your crappy socialist group.

  5. Misinformation because it was true and they can’t stand truth. In other words if you can’t lie your out of here .

  6. I think it is about time to remove TWITTER, Facebook, and other left leaning social media sites from existence in our nation. And the people working there? Remove them as well.

  7. Before Trump, Twitter was barely hanging on. They enjoyed 4 years of free advertising w/Trump and now, they are no longer relevant. Shut them down !!

  8. Everyone is s boycotting twitter so who cares. I just ordered my pillow products directly so find a different non liberal platform to sell from. Oh andi canceled Kohl’s too.

  9. Isn’t it wonderful that the geniuses at Twitter are able to distinguish between information and misinformation. What IQ level and advanced degree in what field impart such wisdom?

  10. I deleted my account from Twitter…Time For anybody who wants freedom of speech and law and order to get off Twitter! There is more of us than there is of them, and since the majority of Republicans won’t fight for us then who else is going to stand up against big Tech?

  11. So question since no investigation has provided evidence of claims made by certain Democrats that Republicans specifically house and senate have tried to commit murder or have some members killed why are they still on twitter with that disinformation?

  12. I find that to be inciting violence if true story there would be arrested as these accusations are criminal acts as well as making false statements so let’s see the report filed by Nancy PELOSI to FBI as required by law and if not true Biden put a stop to this now before there is serious damage done ie. Scalice shot in ballfield

  13. Don’t understand why anybody uses twitter or any of the social media, they serve no purpose except an outlet for weird and the mentally challenged to voice their outrageous points of view, shut them all down and take all the money away from their owners and use it to support the homeless and veterans that are slowly being made homeless by the government that the government they fought to protect.

  14. I’ve never used Twitter but as an outsider it’s really amazing that only Trumps followers that break their rules!

  15. Any one that loves America as it was crafted in the beginning, quit twatter. One thing business
    under stands is the loss of money.
    If everyone quits, twatter will change their ways or fold.

  16. This maybe off the subject but has anyone noticed that the latest cold weather and approaching snow is ignored by the media. I am 71 years old and have noticed no change in weather patterns over my lifetime. So much for global warming and man made climate change, although the climate does change over time without mankind’s help. The green new deal and elimination of carbon based fuel is a total shame. The democrats are out to ruin our way of life because of a total misdirected agenda.

  17. In a way, being ejected from twitter should make a batch of honor. Only people with decency and clear thinking have been banned so far. They must really scare the living day light out of the cockroaches and the rats that only manage to scurry around in the sewage and never knew there is sunlight in the world.

  18. Americans defeat themselves by justifying their actions with those who are against them.  Google, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, twitter, PayPal, TikTok, Snapchat, Reddit, Pinterest etc.

  19. Twitter SUCKS!.I wouldn’t even consider working with you. You come up with Al. These words as reasons but don’t even make sense. BULLY!!

  20. Any filthy, foul perversion of language is just fine.
    But try to sell a legitimate, excellent product (I am a customer) minus the porno language and you will be censored and banished and hopefully put out of business. The new American business model.

  21. But we all know that Twitter is guilty of disinformation, misinformation lies, cheating pedophilia, sucking up to Democrats violation of OUR community standards and the best is: election interference. Everyone knows this by now. It’s been all over the internet!

  22. The only way to fight communist censorship by twitter is to cancel your subscription to twitter.
    I challenge everyone who thinks this was shitty by twitter to tell twitter to kiss their ass and leave the media.

  23. Twitter’s so called “election misinformation” policy is one of the most blatant forms of censorship, a way to silence conservatives, and most importantly the truth.
