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]

It doesn’t matter if Twitter heard from “legit scientists and experts.”  Those people can be and often are wrong, too.  That is the whole point of science.  It is not about specious appeals to authority, but rather rigorous, empirical testing.  Even if the Florida surgeon general is completely wrong, [b]what should happen is that he should be refuted with actual evidence.  [/b]Not silenced for being incorrect.[/quote]

THIS

This is why the Democrats terrify me with their blatant censorship.  Which was so over the top during Covid.

This is exactly how science works.  If you disagree, you provide data to explain why your disagree.  You don’t simply ‘cancel’ the other scientist.  [/quote]

Okay. https://youcanknowthings.com/2022/10/09/a-critical-review-of-floridas-new-vaccine-analysis/

Also, Democrats censoring? [b]Are you saying Twitter the company and the Democratic party are one in the same?[[/b]/quote]

DP
Pretty much.

When the WH directs Twitter, or any other social media company, to censor speech, this is a violation of the 1st amendment. 
And, evidence shows they did exactly that.

[quote]Last month, Covid vaccine skeptic Alex Berenson was allowed back on Twitter after being “permanently” suspended for allegedly violating the platform’s Covid-19 “misinformation” policy. Remarkably, Twitter acknowledged that his tweets “should have not led” to his suspension.
Now, new internal Twitter documents publicized by Berenson reveal that the Biden administration likely played a pivotal role in his suspension. As a Twitter employee reported on the company’s internal Slack messaging system, the company faced “one really tough question about why Alex Berenson hasn’t been kicked off from the platform” in an April 2021 White House meeting. Another employee reported that Andy Slavitt, senior adviser to President Biden’s Covid response team, claimed that he had seen evidence indicating that Berenson was “the epicenter of disinfo that radiated outwards to the persuadable public.”
In the summer of 2021, the federal government repeatedly pressured social media platforms to ramp up efforts to crack down on Covid “misinformation.” On July 16, 2021, Biden claimed that social-media companies were “killing people” by failing to censor Covid misinformation. A few hours after Biden’s comment, Twitter suspended Berenson’s account for the first time. The next month, Twitter banned him after he tweeted about the vaccine’s inability to stop transmission and infection over the long-term and its side-effect profile.[/quote][/quote]
