Twitter Files: Mods Told To Censor ‘Truthful Content That Might Fuel Vaccine Hesitancy’

Internal company documents were published on Thursday by independent journalist Matt Taibbi show.

The guidelines instruct moderators:
“Viral posts of individuals expressing vaccine hesitancy, or stories of true vaccine side effects. This content is not clearly mis or disinformation but it may be malinformation (exaggerated or misleading). Also included in this bucket are often true posts which could fuel hesitancy, such as individual countries banning certain vaccines.”
The vague policy helps explain why scores of Twitter users received strikes, with many others completely censored off the platform.
The latest development is among numerous revelations included in Thursday’s drop, as reporters comb through pre-Elon Musk takeover files showing Twitter was taking its censorship marching orders from taxpayer-funded government agencies, leftist media outlets and globalist NGOs.

Taibbi’s latest Twitter Files drop coincides with testimony he gave at a House Judiciary Committee “Hearing on the Weaponization of the Federal Government on the Twitter Files” Thursday where he further laid out the platform’s politically-motivated, government-sponsored censorship.
