How Twitter saved lives by blocking
It was completely appropriate and admirable for the former #Twitter
management to block and/or not amplify tweets/accounts spouting COVID
disinformation or other harmful lies, irrespective of the political
affiliations of the senders. The fact that by far most of this
disinformation came (and still comes) from right-wing accounts does
not indicate a bias against the right, but a healthy bias against
disinformation. While the process wasn't perfect, it probably saved
many innocent lives. -L
