Twitter had previously reported suspending more than 11,000 accounts for Covid misinformation as of September this year. Under its Covid-specific policy, Twitter operated a “five-strike system” for accounts posting “demonstrably false or misleading” content that may “lead to significant risk of harm” – such as exposure to Covid or damage to public health systems. Its other policies on false information remain on Twitter’s website, without a similar notice saying they will no longer be enforced. Is covid-19 a capitalist idea?
