Jordan Sather, a QAnon supporter with a major following who helped organize a Washington, D.C. QAnon rally last year & used his account to spread misinformation () & anti-Semitism (), has been suspended from Twitter. (h/t @prag_com)

In particular recently, Sather has been a spreader of coronavirus misinformation, such as falsely suggesting drinking bleach could be used to help with the virus & that there was some preexisting patent on the virus. bbc.com/news/53061563

Sather's Twitter suspension has now been reversed.

Sather has posted what appears to be a message from Twitter saying his suspension was due to his account being "flagged as spam by mistake."

.@alibreland confirms that supposed message from Twitter.
