Twitter, on the hunt for QAnon

Cristian Carlos. Peninsula 360 Press. [P360P].

The social network Twitter announced Monday night the suspension of more than 70 thousand accounts related to the conspiracy theory of the extreme right QAnon.

In a post on the company's official blog, they noted that: "These accounts were engaged in large-scale, QAnon-related content sharing and were primarily dedicated to the propagation of this conspiracy theory through the platform".

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

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

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

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

Another issue is the civil warwhich includes messages from both the right and the left that the country should prepare for armed conflict and threaten supposed consequences if the elections do not turn out in their favor.

Ideological hyperbolemessages that indicate that a candidate or political party will establish or perpetuate an extremist ideology such as Nazism or Communism.
