Twitter said Tuesday that it’s taking stronger action against thousands of accounts spreading the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory, which alleges a so-called deep state is plotting against President Donald Trump and his supporters. 

The company has focused on whether these accounts post content that could lead to offline harm, such as harassment, or violate other rules, including those against spam and platform manipulation.  A Twitter spokesperson said it’s already pulled down more than 7,000 QAnon accounts for breaking various rules.
