Twitter Suspends Account of Chinese Virologist Who Claimed Coronavirus Was Made in a Lab

LINK


Twitter has suspended the account of a Chinese academic who suggested COVID-19 was made in a lab and intentionally released.

The social media profile of Dr. Li-Meng Yan, with just under 60,000 followers, went dark this week as the scientist claimed to have scientific evidence the Chinese government was involved in manufacturing the highly-infectious novel coronavirus.



Dr. Yan must have been onto something. Twitter was threatened enough by it to censor her.

Yes. In fact, the Orlando Nightclub shooter followed several radical terrorists on twitter - likely contributing to his radicalization.

Pardon the stupidity, but a sincere if uneducated question: who runs twitter exactly?

I'm sure the Chinese government will make sure the rest of him gets suspended from talking... Permanently.

Is this the same person who has been making this claim for two weeks but had yet to release the proof she claims to have.

Facebook and Twitter don't want you to see some of these opinions. They are the judge of what's true or not.

It's sad that they don't even pretend to try to be even handed with their policies anymore.
