Twitter recently reinstated ZeroHedge after permanently banning the website back on January 31. ZeroHedge had been running stories based on Chinese reports about a biolab in Wuhan being the source of the coronavirus outbreak along with videos and comments from Chinese social media that showed that the epidemic was much worse than claimed by authorities.

Twitter reportedly said its suspension of the account of libertarian market news website Zero Hedge more than four months ago was a mistake, as it reversed the decision. The account was frozen for doxing a Chinese scientist. Zero Hedge, a major independent news outlet has been suspended from Twitter following reporting on the Coronavirus epidemic. Journalists and political analysts ranging from liberals to conservatives are expressing outrage at the suspension. Cassandra Fairbanks wrote, “What the f.ck Zero Hedge has been suspended on here.”.

The alleged basis for the ban was publicizing the webpage for a scientist at the lab with questions if he was involved in the release of virus. Zerohedge has continued to report on the growing evidence of the lab origin of the virus in spite of the ban.

At the time, the mainstream media was frothing about the ongoing impeachment trial. President Trump instituted a travel ban from China the same day, an action that Joe Biden and many in the media roundly criticized as hysteria and xenophobia. The mainstream media was generally ignoring the growing epidemic other than to repeat pronouncements from WHO and the Chinese government as the sole basis for “facts”.

Zerohedge Twitter Suspended

Do you think that the Twitter ban was an attempt to prevent investigations and commentary that might be embarrassing to the Chinese government? Has this been a case of speaking truth to power?
