Misinformation about the coronavirus spread by Chinese government officials does not violate Twitter's policies, a spokesperson for the company told The Hill Monday.
In particular, tweets from Lijian Zhao, an official spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, insinuating that the U.S. military may have spread the coronavirus to Wuhan, China, will remain up.
Twitter's spokesperson pointed to the company's position of giving public figures broad exemptions to many of its policies.
"Presently, direct interactions with fellow public figures, comments on political issues of the day, or foreign policy saber-rattling on economic or military issues are generally not in violation of the Twitter Rules," the site reads.
Twitter's decision not to take down the tweets implying that the disease, which originated in Wuhan, was brought by the U.S. has already drawn criticism.
"When Twitter goes so full Chinese propaganda that they’ve even lost The Daily Beast…" Donald Trump Jr., the president's son, wrote, quote-tweeting the outlet that first reported on the exemptions.

But conservatives who do pass on truths are banned. Got it.
In a way, the virus is having one great effect. It is absolutely exposing the left and their allies at a time when they can ill afford to have the spotlight shined on them.
Twitter sucks a bat’s ass.
The only redeeming quality of Twitter is that it allows Trump to bypass the media.
Thanks @jack.
I’ve been banned 16 times over the past few years no joke. 16 new accounts with different emails and almost always I was being banned for asking a liberal to provide evidence after they made an accusation against Trump. Most of them from Rob Reiners account. Rob Reiner if you ever seen his Twitter, he constantly accuses Trump of breaking the law, so I ask Reiner over and over and over and over to please show me the legal statute Trump violated, and all I get is banned. My theory is rather than debate, the liberal hits the “report tweet” and they immediately ban me.

so Hamas can post antisemitic conspiracies and genocidal hate?
It’s Russian bats! Putin put Russian bats meat in our food supply! Spread that on Twitter and you get an excellent social credit score.

I seem to recall some elected Republicans’ posts being removed
I’ve read stories like yours - say something against a liberal and >boom< you’re gone. I was banned from a news site because I was trading jokes about the article with someone. Liberal rag didn’t like it.
Espionage. Treason. Crimes against humanity. Hanging.

No Fakebook
No Goolag
No antisocial anti conservative anti freedom of speech internet sites

It’s identical to the Russian disinformation.
