The next episode of this disclosure is out now. If anyone thinks the censorship around covid could be important, you might want to read it. If, alternately, anyone wants to toe the government line, they had better get to discrediting the reporter right away. (I don't know this guys name even)

Looks like both Trump and Biden used their twitter tools. Assuming it was all 'within their remit' and for the betterment of humankind would almost seem naive, if it weren't so darned popular. Or is that appearance of popularity possibly being managed by those same tools? (it IS)
15. There were three serious problems with Twitter’s process:
First, much of the content moderation was conducted by bots, trained on machine learning and AI – impressive in their engineering, yet still too crude for such nuanced work.

16. Second, contractors, in places like the Philippines, also moderated content. They were given decision trees to aid in the process, but tasking non experts to adjudicate tweets on complex topics like myocarditis and mask efficacy data was destined for a significant error rate
Geez...I sure hope they don't find out the elevated experts were wrong, or that the deplatformed experts were right. That would throw the governments scienceyness into some doubt...
Getting back to the disclosures...

20. Exhibit A: Dr. Martin Kulldorff, an epidemiologist at Harvard Medical School, tweeted views at odds with US public health authorities and the American left, the political affiliation of nearly the entire staff at Twitter.
21. Internal emails show an “intent to action” by a moderator, saying Kulldorff’s tweet violated the company’s Covid-19 misinformation policy and claimed he shared “false information.”

22. But Kulldorff’s statement was an expert’s opinion—one which also happened to be in line with vaccine policies in numerous other countries. Yet it was deemed “false information” by Twitter moderators merely because it differed from CDC guidelines.
If the effects of this stayed on twitter, it wouldn't be a problem. Microblogs like twitter (or this one) are not going to 'move the needle', as they say. If, however, twitter DOES move that needle, then it might be important that the techbro's were silencing epidemiologists on the subject.
