I don't like the term misinformation. I don't think Twitter should have restricted his tweets. However, it's important to remember Bhattacharya was wrong. In the op-ed posted above he guessed that the predicted death toll of

Correct. He also claimed the chatbot signed in as Grime's Twitter account to do the action, which is obviously implausible. If you look in the replies you'll see him clarify it was a joke.
