what's wrong with suppressing anti-vaxer views on twitter? elon's guy says twitter rigged the debate. yes so what. why should they have to provide a leveled platform for vaccine supporters vs anti-vaxers? If you look at china now there is a tragedy due to no vaccinations being available.

I wished Elon Musk would fuck off to Mars already, he's done enough damage. But trust him to see how far he can milk this and it gets lapped up and amplified like it is the biggest scandal since Watergate, whereas the most you can take away from it is that there were a lot of people doing their utmost best to ensure the platform functioned with minimum damage potential.

Here's one of the tweets mentioned in the article that was labeled as "misleading": https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/444fffb7-6da9-4fba-af5e-4eb3c347cdbd_970x1600.png https://bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.am... Can you explain what is actually misleading about it, or, more broadly, how is it anti-vax?

  My guess is doing this type of moderation is cheap labor and can have mistakes. Probably the moderator didn't analyze the case thoroughly enough to understand the cherrypicking bias and marked it as misleading. It's not like you have scientists analyzing every tweet to find the scientifically biased views.
