This is a terrible thing for humanity. There’s no other way it can be said.

I’m thankful to have a social media platform that understands the danger of misinformation about a pandemic.

Twitter stops enforcing Covid-19 misinformation policy

Several top executives overseeing content moderation policies and enforcement, including Twitter’s former head of Trust and Safety, Yoel Roth, have left the company.

@DrHankPym There are so many terrible things happening on that site but this is high on the list of awful ones.

@DrHankPym I am worried for our ability to control and dampen down viral threats when I see this happen. I know what occurred in Australia when Facebook failed to do much about antivax and anti science rhetoric and attacks. We cede control over this misinformation at our peril. The world is walking willing into an large scale pandemic hellscape…willingly…unless governments act to prevent this.

@RevealingLight I’ll tell you, it’s really stressful for people in medicine. There are consequences to spreading this junk and it risks the lives of other people. It’s irresponsible and wrong.

@DrHankPym if people choose to believe the false information then they get what they get. There are ways to validate the info on their own, I mean, these are the do your own research people, right?. Should Twitter allow it in the first place? Of course not, but the consequences of it being run by an internet troll is that stuff like this is gonna happen

@DrHankPym I do not understand why there is no oversight on this, Where is the FTC?

@DrHankPym He’s turning the bird into the social media equivalent of his Dad’s emerald mine. I wonder how many people died working in that mine?

Musk has captured the interest of Senator Ed Markey who sent Musk a warning shot. Musk’s day is coming. Like DFG he will flail more and more as the walls move in, sealing his own fate. It will be the one thing he actually did all by himself!

@DrHankPym I almost died from COVID and we have ass hats like Musk doing this. The only thing we can do is counter it with PSA’s. But such a waste of energy combatting cults.

“If Covid-19 misinformation spreads far enough, it could spur Congress to roll back tech platforms’ Section 230 liability shield and hold them liable for Covid-19 misinformation on their site.”
It’s time to reconsider Section 230.
