Was Twitter in the right to delete this? I’m undecided as I don’t have a science background.[/quote]

I dont think you have to have a science background to decide whether twitter should censor the FL surgeon general.

Science changes. Thats the whole point of scientific research. To test and validate what we know, while making discoveries to enhance our knowledge. Twitter is anti science because they oppose the discussion and inquiry necessary to improve our body of knowledge.  [/quote]

I’m sure Twitter acted after it heard from legit scientists and experts that the FLSG’s post was dangerous disinformation. The SG is not interested in a good faith discussion. [/quote]

Ah yes, "legit" scientists. Unlike the MD and PhD they censored. He is illegitimate because they dont like his research.

Normally this is handled in the peer review process by other "legit scientists."  But I can see the appeal of handing it over to non-scientists who simply delete it, so the world can stay simple and uncomplicated, even if it means we dont advance scientific understanding. [/quote]
Was the study actually peer reviewed? Putting it on Twitter is not the same as publishing it in a journal.[/quote]

Since they deleted the link, its hard to say. But given the context and the credentials of the poster, it would be odd if it werent. Twitter has been taken to court several times by medical researchers several times after their research was labeled disinformation, and Twitter has lost. Its one thing to censor things like "drink bleach to cure covid" and an entirely different thing to censor actual scientific research from credentialed experts. These things are not the same at all.  We can be in favor of censoring truly dangerous types of misinformation while also being against Twitter deleting scientific research that the Twitter team believes counters its political agenda.
