Newly released documents detail how Twitter executives sought to censor 'inconvenient' data about COVID by discrediting doctors and experts who spoke out against vaccines.
In the latest installment of the Twitter Files, journalist David Zweig laid bare how both the Trump and Biden administrations pressured Twitter executives to censor information that was 'true but inconvenient.'
Using their pull, Zweig writes, the government was able to discredit doctors and experts, and suppress ordinary users' freedom of speech on Twitter — even if they were citing the Center for Disease Control's own data.
The Biden administration was even able to get former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson off the platform for his tweets questioning the mRNA vaccines being developed to eradicate the virus.
The documents provide more context as to how the government infiltrated the social media giant to suppress certain stories.
