On Friday Florida's Surgeon General Dr. Joe Ladajo tweeted about cardiac risks related to the COVID vaccine
- Twitter blocked the post, but later allowed it, which has prompted many to criticize Twitter for censorship practices.
- Dr. Ladapo tweeted information about risks associated with the vaccine, particularly for young men
- The information that Ladapo provided outlined how the Florida Health Department had run its own case series to look into the risks and safety of the vaccine.
But after blocking Ladajo's tweet with this information and the surgeon general's warning about the vaccine, Twitter restored the post on Sunday, Politico reported.
- Despite a lack of explanation on Twitter's part about the decision to block and then unblock Ladapo's tweet, it seems to be a pretty clear case of hysterical censorship from the social media platform.
- Twitter might indeed have a tendency to just block anything it may disagree with because Ladajo was not shooting in the dark.
Twitter blocked his post, seeming to prove what most already assume: Twitter censors those it disagrees with, not those who spread legitimately false information.
- After the incident of Ladapo’s blocked post, even people from DeSantis’ office criticized Twitter.
