I remember back in the day when Twitter were free speech absolutists. And then they made exceptions just for direct threats, and just for hate speech, and just for nazis, and... And how here we are straight-up banning speech that is contra "expert guidance". The slopes, they are slippery!

how the hell is twitter going to know what counts as "expert guidance"? coronavirus has existed for 2 months. there are many more unknowns than facts. heres a fact: published science says closing borders to travllers is ineffective. but its done anyway (so politicians can be seen as "doing something" instead of nothing). now twitter can say they are "doing something" to stop the virus too! LOL
