Interesting. Seems some folks used to spreading disinfo without fear of suspension are struggling with the new COVID-19 policies. Another view: Twitter is able to do with COVID misinfo/disinfo what it was unable or unwilling to do with previous political disinfo.https://twitter.com/oliverdarcy/status/1243979360920637442 …

One explanation is that we — Twitter users and the public at large — are more tolerant of policies banning misinfo/disinfo during a pandemic than more general misinfo/disinfo around things like elections. Seems many of the platforms are betting on that right now.

Replying to @sivavaid @katestarbird
Completely disagree. There is so much misinformation from top authorities. Mark my word, this is Iraq War redux. Authorities we normally trust are spreading a lot of misinformation. (Masks are the biggest but not only example).

Could you please elaborate on the “masks” issue? Some links maybe? I want to understand this debate but I lack context. Regards from Belgium & stay safe!
