If Twitter had been around back then, would claiming that Nariyah lied when she falsely testified that Iraq took babies out of incubators and left them to die [1], or that the Holodomor happened [2], also cause them to ban you? Not the only times the official line turned out false, so it worries me when bans expand from ridiculous claims and hate, to plausible claims as well.

It was also circulated by some Western journalists and intellectuals. It was echoed at the time of the famine by some prominent Western journalists, including The New York Times' Walter Duranty and Louis Fischer.
