Last February, Zhang Zhan traveled to Wuhan, China to get a firsthand look at the emerging COVID pandemic. She live-streamed her experiences on social media and wrote essays critical of the government's response to the crisis. She was arrested in May on charges of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble."
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey expressed his regret that "we didn't do more to help neutralize this unfortunate situation. If Ms. Zhang had used our platform we could have deleted her tweets before they went viral. Very few would have seen her videos or read her essays. Quarrels could have been minimized and not much trouble would've been provoked."
Dorsey promised to "be more vigilant going forward. Our experience has been that too many people abuse freedom of speech. They harass government authorities unnecessarily. Needless contradiction of the policies, words, and deeds of officials creates disunity. Thwarting this unwarranted controversy will be our mission as we assist in bringing about the Great Reset that China has been backing and that American voters endorsed by electing Joe Biden to be their next president."
