Twitter Deletes 70,000 Accounts Associated With US Capitol Riots

In a major digital crackdown, Twitter on January 11 took down over 70,000 accounts engaged in sharing contents related to far-right conspiracy theory. The action came following the US Capitol riots by the supporters of outgoing President Donald Trump. Twitter stated that these accounts were engaged in spreading harmful QAnon-associated content on a large scale. Reportedly, QAnon is conspiracy theory that projects Trump as a warrior against the "Satan-worshipping Paedophiles" in the US.
