It may have been a ridiculous decision, but as a means of stopping the information from propagating, it was wholly ineffectual. There’s always enough people that want to get to the truth of the matter, rather than the version of events that has been shaped for The Narrative. Twitter lets those people easily connect with each other, so it is by far the most powerful tool for “freedom of the press” that we have.
