Covid-19: Our approach to misleading vaccine information
Gee, I sure hope Twitter continues to compile a huge list of all the things you&#x27;re not allowed to talk about on their platform. Now that the precedent is well and truly set with elections and vaccines having Official Truths, what&#x27;s the next thing on the docket?<p>It&#x27;s not that I even think they&#x27;re necessarily incorrect about their take - it&#x27;s that they&#x27;re putting themselves in place as being the gatekeepers of reality on certain topics. What is this supposed to mean for the average person?<p>Are we supposed to able to &quot;believe everything we see on Twitter&quot; a little bit more now, because a tiny bite has been taken out of the pool of all possible misinformation and propaganda on the platform? Only a fool would do that; and said fool is still going to be plenty busy with all the other abjectly incorrect things that people both well-meaning and malicious spew onto it day in and day out.<p>Are we supposed to be able to believe at least the things we read about vaccines and American elections on Twitter? I don&#x27;t think they&#x27;ve actually managed to take a big enough bite to accomplish that.<p>The only thing they have done is further cement their position as being arbitrarily and inconsistently able to remove or flag posts that don&#x27;t actually violate any law or constitute any threat the way such things were traditionally interpreted.
