Twitter announced on Monday that it has removed more than 70,000 accounts that promoted content related to the QAnon conspiracy theory.

“Given the violent events in Washington, DC, and increased risk of harm, we began permanently suspending thousands of accounts that were primarily dedicated to sharing QAnon content on Friday afternoon,” the social media giant said in a blog post.
