Twitter has banned thousands of QAnon accounts and limited the reach of around 150,000 others as part of a suppression of what the company says is behavior that could lead to “offline harm.”

“We’ve been clear that we will take strong enforcement action on behavior that has the potential to lead to offline harm,” Twitter wrote in a July 21 tweet, characterizing its actions as “work at scale to protect the public conversation in the face of evolving threats.”
