Twitter has shut down My Pillow’s official account after the bedding company’s CEO Mike Lindell used it to circumvent his own ban from the platform.

Twitter said it permanently suspended My Pillow for violating its policy against “ban evasion.” Mike Lindell, a friend and outspoken supporter of former President Donald Trump, was banned from Twitter a week ago over his repeated claims that the presidential election was rigged.
