Twitter announced this week that it’s removing or restricting more
than 150,000 accounts associated with QAnon -- an extremist, far
right internet community that perpetuates conspiracy theories about
pedophilic, Satan-worshipping elites seeking to take over the
country. The FBI designated QAnon as a domestic terrorist threat
last year, but President Trump has retweeted accounts associated
with QAnon and has supported Republican candidates who openly
espouse it. We’ll explore what QAnon is and where it came
from, and we’ll talk about the impact of Twitter’s ban.
