Under pressure from federal officials and mainstream media to apply a rigid lens to ever-evolving scientific research, Big Tech companies are flailing in their efforts to treat contested claims consistently.
Twitter blamed an overactive spam filter for wrongly suspending a U.K. doctor who started a project to audit the country's COVID-19 deaths and was previously censored by YouTube for explaining the results of Pfizer's COVID vaccine trial for young children in layman's terms.
The explanation suggests that even as Twitter implements election misinformation rules ahead of the fall midterms, it may be wary of continuing to aggressively police "misleading" COVID tweets in the wake of the CDC's drastic revision of COVID guidance and ongoing publishing of its internal communications related to censorship.
Stanford medical professor Jay Bhattacharya blamed "Twitter interns" for pathologist Clare Craig's permanent suspension over the weekend. A self-described public health physician responded that he too had just been suspended for sharing a study on school mask mandates in Spain.
In her newsletter this week, Craig said she didn't receive notice from Twitter but learned that others who reported her for "hateful conduct" and "abusive behavior" were taking credit for her suspension.
Twitter responded to her appeal by claiming Craig had created "multiple accounts with overlapping uses," evaded a previous suspension and had a habit of "aggressive following." Hours after Craig challenged the factual basis and "started taking advice on legal action," Twitter said her account was wrongly caught in a purge of "automated spam accounts."
It's curious that Twitter didn't credit the goof to "a series of co-ordinated reports" about her abusive and hateful conduct, Craig wrote. "Was the story about spam a way to get them out of admitting that they have a problem with Witch-hunters?"

“...aggressively police “misleading” COVID tweets...” Uh, the more we know, the more we NO! Daily reports and information indicate that nearly everything we were told about the CONvid itself and the non effective vax has been 🐂💩 from almost the first day. We were never concerned about it and never considered getting vaxxed. And we thank God he gave us the courage to be guided away from the constant “suggestion” that we get vaxxed and boosted. We remain “NON GMO”. And my thought early on about blaming PDJT for the rapid response(warp speed?) would eventually happen and Tucker mentioned it now so....... IIRC even now the only vaxxes being given are still labled EUA. Anyone? Bueller? 🔬🦠😵💫😷🚫💉🐂💩
Free speech is a fundamental civil right. Fedzilla suppressing speech it doesn’t like is not only unconstitutional, it’s criminal.
