The Informed Consent Action Network, an organization dedicated to increasing informed consent regarding vaccinations, was locked out of their Twitter account twice in 24 hours after they publicized that they had acquired 2,957 emails sent from Anthony Fauci between February and May of last year. As National File reported:
The Big Tech platform locked ICAN out of their account due to alleged violations of their misinformation policy regarding COVID-19, despite the fact that their tweet seemingly did not break any of the rules under that specific regulation. Speaking exclusively to National File, Del Bigtree, the founder of ICAN, said it was “ironic” that Twitter shut down their account, given the emails that were to be published were obtained using the Freedom of Information Act, a piece of legislation designed to allow the public access to otherwise hidden government information…
After serving their initial 12 hour suspension, ICAN published their treasure trove of emails from Fauci to their site, which while overlapping with some of the initial dump provided by Buzzfeed and the Washington Post, also included new information that had not been previously released. However, after promoting the newly released documents, ICAN was shut down again by Twitter. Bigtree said that this has now gone from “ridiculous to insane.”
National File enquired to Twitter regarding both temporary suspensions, and after our inquiries on Friday evening, only a few hours after the second suspension was enforced, a Twitter spokesperson told National File that the “enforcement action” that they took on ICAN was “in error,” and that they had reversed their actions “and the Tweets and account functionality has been restored.” Both tweets taken down by the Big Tech platform are included below.

AUDIO/TRANSCRIPT: 12 Feb 2021: WNYC RadioLab: Facebook’s Supreme Court
JAD ABUMRAD: Three, two, one. Hey. I’m Jad Abumrad. This is RADIOLAB. Today, we have got a special collaboration with The New Yorker magazine and The New Yorker Radio Hour - very excited about that...
KATE KLONICK (professor of law at St. John’s University): It’s part of, like, a larger sense, I think, that he (ZUCKERBERG) sees Facebook becoming more and more - like, a government isn’t even the best term, but, like, a system of government...
SIMON ADLER: This is Brent Harris, who led Facebook’s effort to build this board, this court...
BRENT HARRIS: I mean, I spent about 15 years working on climate before I came to Facebook. And I think the issues here are deeply analogous...
BRENT HARRIS: They are human-generated. There are major regulatory actions that are needed. There’s a serious responsibility by industry to step up and think about the responsibility that they hold. And the solutions that will come forward as we start to figure out how to address these types of challenges will inherently be incremental...
BRENT HARRIS: You know, is the Paris agreement enough? No. Is it a lot better than what we had before? Yes. Is the Montreal Protocol enough? No. Is it a (laughter) substantial step forward against this challenge? Yes. And building this board is only one step in a wide array of many other steps that need to be taken on.
SIMON ADLER: It sounds to me that what you’re saying is this is the first piece in this global governance body Facebook is imagining.
BRENT HARRIS: Well, if it really works and people end up believing in it and thinking it’s a step forward, then, yeah, further steps can be taken...

If they are publishing Fauci emails, then they are propagating COVID misinformation. This was not an error.
I use twitter. I dont care what their policies are or how often they block conservatives
When i want information that is usually the quickest way for me to find it...like if Tesla suddenly tanks during trading i go look to see what stupid thing Musk has said now
Plus..there are a few stock and options traders on there that i like
Twitter is a sewer. Always has been.

Interesting and I’m glad you find it useful. Do those people tend to get political or do they keep their tweets on the financial message?
Just curious.
