You mean that ridiculous ZeroHedge article that claimed that covid was an engineered bioweapon? Yeah, it was rightfully banned then and it's still dumb now. I love how people innocently claim that it was just "asking questions about a lab leak." If you're defending ZeroHedge as a bastion of truth, you're unquestionably on the wrong side of history.

  If "lab leak" were the literal only story in existence that had any relevance then you might be right. Also, moderation is not the same thing as censorship.

Agreed that the article was as garbage as the rest of the covid/climate denier bullshit... the problem is the complete intransparency and complete lack of accountability that the major social media platforms all have. No matter if it's Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit or Tiktok. Moderation standards are in a lot of cases only enforced when there's media attention because some users manage to get enough publicity to get media involved... and in the case of Twitter, even that doesn't help any more now that Musk personally decided to have a ton of outright fascist accounts unbanned. It's a disgrace all around.

  What accounts are outright fascist that he personally unbanned?

    All the ones that have a contrary political opinion I’d imagine.

      Kanye West literally praised Hitler and said he's a Nazi. It doesn't get more fascist than that.

    Ye also known as Kanye West. And Nick Fuentes. James Lindsey and that Tate guy. There is more. And the effect was exacerbated by his banning left wing folks, so the tilt became more faschy by quite a bit.

There’s a senate report that does conclude it was a bio weapon? https://www.help.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/report_an_analysis_of_the_origins_of_covid-19_102722.pdf https://www.help.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/report_an_analysis...

    Why are you linking an article from a 2021 magazine, against my oct 2022 government report?

  Lab leak is not the same, at all, as a bioweapon.

    Can you explain how the outcomes would be different? Don’t get so hasty with your italics over semantics
