They are not going to block someone saying that a vaccinated person who has been exposed or has COVID could spread it, which is true.


That's exactly what the policy says though. How do you know that's not their true intention?

Another falsehood. 'Breakthrough' cases are absolutely not rare. But that never got corrected. Just swept under the rug and ignored like every other bit of news, good or otherwise, that don't fit the narrative.

OP, please link to where on Twitter specifically this quoted part is.

Sorry, I see OP already did this. Glenn Greenwald and some other guys were quoting from mediaite.

The @CDCDirector, Rochelle Walensky, is in serious danger of being permanently banned from Twitter under this policy, given that this is her official view. I hope she's careful in what she says on this platform. It'd be bad for the world if she were banned from Twitter.

The wheels are coming off Twitter and the narrative they push.

Starting to sound like the Iraqi Minister Bob.

I followed the link from that story and only found the part that would penalize people saying the vaccinated can shed VACCINE to others. Nothing about what was quoted in the OP, which is why I asked the question.

Without it, it's an intentionally misleading article. Or the person who wrote it is not very bright.

ETA: Which is why I think Twitter updated their post to change "virus" to "vaccine".

Either the article flat out lied, or twitter made an error in using the word virus when they meant vaccine and have since fixed it.

This new CEO is a terrifying figure for public discourse. He has already outright stated that he feels no obligation whatsoever to the first amendments.

Early examples of the new heavy handed approach include banning live updates from the Maxwell trial and removing an account that simply tracks Pelosi’s stock trades. When we keep in mind that major trials are routinely broadcasted in full on live TV, and that all of Pelosi’s trades are already publicly accessible (by law), there’s really only one way to interpret this kind of policy from Twitter; the new rules are simply, solely, about protecting those in power. They have now officially done a full 180 from their originally stated founding purpose.

Copied straight from their rules

Right. So the terms do NOT say what the story in the OP suggests.

They are all about mind-control in a futile attempt to give the current administration the moral high ground of getting you vaxxed, among other things, as their narrative is crumbling in the populace and doubt creeps in.
