Rebekah Jones — one of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ most vocal internet critics — has been suspended from Twitter.

The social media platform has not provided a public explanation for its action, but a screenshot of Twitter’s notification to Jones cites “platform manipulation and spam.” Jones said her account was flagged for spam because she was “overzealous” in sharing a Miami Herald article.

“I am appealing it now,” she said Monday. “I shouldn’t be locked out for long.”

Jones, a former Department of Health data manager fired for alleged insubordination, emerged as a political lightning rod as COVID-19 cases spiked in Florida last year.

Supporters see her as a whistleblower speaking truth to power and exposing an effort by the state to paint a rosier picture of the pandemic. Her detractors say she has peddled disinformation for her own financial benefit, unfairly casting doubt on the reliability of Florida’s COVID-19 statistics.

Both DeSantis supporters and Glenn Greenwald are happy about it. F**** DeSantis and Greenwald.

3. Just saw this story on my homepage and was shocked.

Yes, I wonder how hard the Satan will continue to fight for everyone to be on a social platform. Bet now he is glad he is being sued over it but this will give him an easy way out where he can save face.

5. Rightwankers are claiming she used sockpuppet accounts to "spread disinformation."

Golly, he gasped, you mean they lied?

I've been suspended before. I got a little too happy with my "likes," and also, too, signing on at work made them suspicious because the company's Internet connection is in another state.

She'll be back shortly.
