Twitter Suspends Account of Chinese Virologist Who Claimed Coronavirus Was Made in a Lab

2/ Despite Yan’s disputed claim, suspending a user’s account is unusual, deviating from Twitter’s latest policy of labelling controversial posts since May.
3/ The repercussions brought by #Covid-19, ranging from pandemic and public health management, to economic consequences and geopolitical implications are unprecedentedly far-reaching.
4/ Any debate over the origins of the virus is indisputably contentious. Cautious to safeguard free and genuine information flow, huge strain has been put upon media platforms to tackle misinformation.
5/ But before further disclosure of the evidence, is it a response in proportionality to silence a #whistleblower whose life might put at risk to safeguard viewpoints that are potentially inconvenient to an oppressed regime like #CCP ?
These conspiracy theories are working too well and playing into popular, broader conspiracy narratives. It's playing into Trump's hands. He needs the theatre to distract from the complete mess he's made here. @jack is probably concerned and so am I.
The problem is, how did Twitter know the report is fake? If Twitter has evidence to prove the report is not real, it should disclose the truth If Twitter has no evidence, then this is just a censorshippic.twitter.com/qONpBu1kFp
