If it turns out that the coronavirus did escape from a lab in Wuhan, Twitter is going to owe ZeroHedge an apology for automatically flagging every link to their site. In fact they probably already do.pic.twitter.com/BIfpOl3RPP

Are we memory-holing the specific reason for the ban? It wasn’t for just broaching the lab idea.pic.twitter.com/XmQ12HA0uX
There are two separate things happening here: shutting down their Twitter account, and flagging links to their site as dangerous. The former is arguably a justifiable punishment for giving the researcher's phone number. But how does this (mild) doxxing make the site dangerous?

"If it turns out that the coronavirus did escape from a lab in Wuhan, Twitter is going to owe ZeroHedge an apology" - I'm pointing out that the ToS violation had nothing to do with Twitter 'arbitrating truth' and getting it wrong, as the tweet implied & most of the replies echo'd

It's fine to ban an account for violating the ToS, but when Twitter flags any link to the site that anyone else posts on Twitter, especially using the language that they do, they're implying that the site is dangerous to users, not merely that its owners broke Twitter's rules.
