Twitter censors user for calling out irresponsible reporting: A Twitter user shared a copy of his censorship notice for a tweet that he had waited two weeks to be reviewed on appeal before deleting. The tweet, which was in reference to a tweet by a Charlotte, NC TV station, read: "This headline should be 'a symptomatic elementary school teacher.' Vaccine status does not prevent transmission. And asymptomatic people do not spread covid. This person was sick, and didn't wear a mask and went to work. Your headline is garbage and misinformation." The TV station tweet was sharing a story with the headline "Unmasked elementary school teacher infects half of class with COVID, CDC says." However, the tweet read: "An unvaccinated elementary school teacher in California infected half their class with COVID-19 after reading aloud without a mask, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention," which was the first line from the article. It was unclear what Twitter claimed the user's chastising tweet violated, but most likely it was the COVID misinformation policy.
