Twitter censors user for sharing another tweet about COVID-19 vaccines: A Twitter user shared a screenshot of their censorship notice. They had re-tweeted another user's tweet, adding only a single word, "Censored." The other tweet from user @Megmd514 linked to a commonsense.news article headlined "U.S. Public Health Agencies Aren't 'Following the Science,' Officials say." The tweet itself read: "Comprehensive article on the failure of the @CDCDirector @US_FDA on covid vaccine for children & teens. Clearly a political agency now, trust has been breached. @TracyBethHoeg @MartyMakary @VPrassadMDMPH." Twitter had added a "Misleading" label to that tweet and implemented sharing restrictions preventing the tweet from being liked, shared or replied to, which is likely what the censored user was referring to when they wrote "Censored." The user's account was restricted, according to the screenshot, to a read-only mode, which the user reported lasted nine hours.
