You could have read another 2 paragraphs lower and had your questions answered:
> The spokesperson said while the targeted enforcement against QAnon fell under Twitter’s existing platform manipulation rules, its classification of QAnon as coordinated harmful activity was a new designation. The spokesperson said Twitter was taking action now because of an escalating degree of harm associated with the conspiracy theory.
Q / QAnon only exists because of the Trump election. It's a way for "President Trump's most devoted supporters" to be engaged in the campaign. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire LARP was created by or steered by the campaign team.
- codeddesign 6y agoIn regards to your last point: Is it though? That’s a very large generalization for half the country. That’s like saying Obama supporters are pro killing innocent people with drones. Obviously this is ridiculous. Both far right and left have extremists that shouldn’t be tolerated by anyone.
- thephyber 6y agoI didn't mean to insinuate that all Trump supporters participate in the QAnon thing. I have yet to see a QAnon follower who didn't also support Trump, so from my perspective being a Trump Supporter is a necessary but not sufficient condition for being a QAnon follower. > Both far right and left have extremists that shouldn’t be tolerated by anyone. I'm not sure what you mean by "tolerated" here. I'm fine with calling them out for their silly ideas and actions. Perhaps even "canceling" them if they get too extreme. I'm not interested in actually adopting their techniques.
