Twitter, on the hunt for QAnon

Cristian Carlos. Peninsula 360 Press. [P360P].

On Monday night, the social network Twitter announced the suspension of more than 70,000 accounts related to the conspiracy theory of the extreme right-wing group QAnon.

In a post on the company's official blog, they noted that: "These accounts were dedicated. on a large scale, to sharing QAnon-related content and were mainly dedicated to spreading this conspiracy theory across the platform".

The suspensions take place after the social network announced the permanent closure of accounts sharing QAnon content. In addition, the accounts of Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell, supporters of President Donald Trump, were also closed.

QAnon is a conspiracy theory founded and spread by the extreme right, through social networks since 2017, whose leader "Q", to date, is unknown, but who spreads first-hand information from the government.

QAnon is part of the history of US politics mainly because of theories that point to a very privileged sector in the US that seeks to influence, in a very profound way, the politics of the country, to such an extent that it has tried to establish a "dark state", where racism is mainly sown, fascist and anti-Semitic factions are superimposed and from where xenophobia is promoted; from QAnon Satanic cults are also born, whose purpose is to sacrifice minors for sexual purposes.

QAnon is not limited to the political elite, but also to the financial and banking elite; the food consumption industry is said to be linked to pharmaceuticals, the entertainment industry and the media, the latter being the channel and the path for disinformation.

Another issue is the civil warThis includes messages from both the right and the left that the country must prepare for armed conflict and threatens with alleged consequences if the elections do not go well.

Ideological hyperboleThe message is that a candidate or political party will establish or perpetuate an extremist ideology such as Nazism or Communism.
