I can verify this is happening to her replies that have no offensive content whatsoever—but in fact are substantive. It’s likely because people who disagree with her have reported her as “misinformation”—and the automated system is very prone to manipulation like this.https://twitter.com/Ayjchan/status/1462782744635785222 …

So
@Twitter could verify her, I suppose? Absolutely fine to disagree with her, as many do, but she’s not posting offensive content or anything needing censoring. She’s a junior person who upset a bunch of senior people. Such tensions can’t be settled under “misinformation” logic.https://twitter.com/Peacockg/status/1462790874371403783 …Show this threadThanks.

In my almost 2 yrs of tweets on COVID-19 issues as well as nuclear power problems, I've received replies arguing with the facts, but nothing against me personally. OTOH Facebook has been sometimes the platform where personal attacks on me from antinuclear writers go unchecked.

More generally, this is what happens when you rely on cheap signals that are easy to fake. Cheap signals are usually worse than no signals.
