Social media platform Twitter has banned My Pillow chief executive Mike Lindell for violating its policy on election misinformation.

Lindell, who had almost 500,000 followers before his account was suspended, repeatedly made baseless claims of voter fraud in the US presidential election.

According to Reuters, the devout supporter of Donald Trump funded post-election protest movements with the aim of overturning the win of newly appointed president Joe Biden.
