Twitter's current "COVID misinformation policy," under which Marjorie Taylor Greene was just banned, effectively prohibits criticism of "official regulations" and "restrictions" -- even on the grounds of "efficacy." And then they wonder why people are cynical 
The terms of the policy could of course just as easily apply to COVID-fanatical users: what about the "harm" caused by generating the "misleading" impression that children are at extreme risk? To take just one example of countless. But of course it's never enforced that way
As usual, Tech Officials have made themselves into unilateral arbiters of complex public debates -- like they're Philosopher Kings. But the one-sidedness of "COVID misinformation" rules, combined with the inherent ambiguity of the "harm" principle, takes it to a whole other level
