Twitter censors user for reaction to a Reuters fact-check: A Twitter user shared a screenshot of another user's censorship notice. The censored user reacted and linked to a Reuters Fact Check tweet that read "A study of 301 teens in Thailand found mild and temporary heart rhythm changes after a second dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine among one in six teenagers, not one-third as social media posts claim https://reut.rs/3pub6PU." The user who was censored added her thoughts about this, saying "1 in every six? Heart issues? How's that sound to you?" Twitter claimed her reaction to the Reuters fact check information violated its "policy on spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19." The user's account was locked until she deleted the tweet. The user's account was subsequently permanently suspended.
