Patreon has reportedly updated its policies and will no longer support creator accounts on its platform that advance disinformation promoting the QAnon conspiracy theory, the company announced in a blog post.
Patreon says that it is taking such measures because a number of other online platforms become overrun with pages and groups actively focused around QAnon disinformation.
QAnon dedicated creators identified by Patreon’s policy and trust & safety teams will have their accounts removed, the blog post added.
The policy update applies only to creators engaged in spreading QAnon-supporting disinformation, the company said, while just mentioning, entertaining, reporting on, or debunking QAnon will not be considered in violation of its rules.
This policy update is exclusively addressing the propagation of disinformation related to QAnon.
