You're remembering incorrectly or your experience was narrow. At facebook, censoring discussion of a possible lab leak was literal written policy which wasn't changed until June of 2021: https://reason.com/2021/06/04/lab-leak-misinformation-media-fauci-covid-19/ https://reason.com/2021/06/04/lab-leak-misinformation-media-... And Twitter's files showed that the government (through multiple departments), members of Congress, and private companies were directly sending lists of hundreds of names of people to ban or deemphasize for talking about it.

From your own article, we learn that your claim is wrong: > we will no longer remove the claim that COVID-19 is man-made or manufactured from our apps This illustrates the problem nicely: because there was so much blatant lying about the virus being a bio weapon, people forget that there was all along more sober discussion about it being a possible leak of a natural virus and that those discussions were never banned. You’re similarly misrepresenting what little was in the “Twitter files”, no doubt because terms of service violations are a lot less exciting.
