An American online news and social networking service is being questioned after it banned a user for doing a parody of a Democrat congressperson on May 6.

Twitter permanently suspended @AOCpress for allegedly “violating Twitter rules“ by ridiculing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) whose verified Twitter handle is @AOC.
