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

Right and in that case the ban is behavioral; they wouldn’t owe an apology just because the spammer’s claims that their product reduced belly fat turned out to be true.
HN mods ban spammers' sites because they're offtopic. It doesn't matter whether their claims are true or not.

Right, which is what I said there. Behavioral ban. Maintaining a particular community standard. In this case, harassment ban. Doesn’t matter if the claim was staggeringly prescient, a broken clock hitting the jackpot, or wrong. Behavioral.

Renee, you’re always very well informed and analytical. What’s your current read on this situation? Are you leaning toward the “lab-created virus” story as authentic or as disinformation? No worries if you’re still gathering info.
