[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Misinformation surrounding the topic of election fraud dropped by 73 percent after President Trump and several others were suspended from mainstream social media accounts, according to research conducted by Zignal Labs.

The research firm reported that discourse around election fraud dropped from 2.5 million mentions across social media platforms to close to 688,000, following the president's permanent suspension from Twitter, according to The Washington Post.

Twitter first banned Trump's account shortly after a violent mob of his supporters attacked the Capitol building on Jan. 6. The platform said it was concerned that Trump's future posts could incite more violence after the Capitol riots left five people dead, including a Capitol Police officer.

Twitter announced after Trump's ban that it had also banned over 70,000 accounts linked to the QAnon conspiracy theory.
