Twitter censors user for very mild post raising concerns about COVID-19 vaccines: A Twitter user shared screenshots of his censorship notice. He had tweeted: "@SenRonJohnson That is sad to see. Safety needs to be taken seriously, the cure can not be worse than the cause. mRNA vaccines are VERY different to anything prior. Some nasty comments in here. Trial = Some risk: the flu, maybe pneumonia, not crippled with a feed tube. Science: pause/ evaluate." Twitter initially claimed this violated its policy "on spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19." The user's account was locked until he deleted the tweet, and his account was placed in a restricted read-only mode. The user appealed, and his account was "restored...to full functionality." However, the tweet was still deleted.
