Twitter No Longer Enforcing ‘COVID-19 Misleading Information Policy’

Can Twitter users finally speak openly about COVID-19 on the platform without having to worry about censorship?

It appears the platform’s ‘COVID-19 Misleading Information Policy’ is no longer effective.

The sharp eye of the soon-to-be-resurrected @ewoodhouse7 pointed out that the Covid policy seems to be GONE from Twitter's safety page. Check her substack! https://t.co/3Q1khjs8cO

I just confirmed and saw this on the transparency page of Twitter:https://t.co/evEI9p8jZn pic.twitter.com/d9yqXJ0cIq

“Victory! @elonmusk has KILLED the Twitter Covid policy. (Or maybe he wasn’t wearing a mask around it and it died)… yep. Let’s go! Try out YOUR WORST “misinformation” tweet below and see if it holds,” tweeted Justin Hart.

“Wow! Five days ago, too! How did Team Reality miss this? This is the most consequential win for free speech yet. Thanks @elonmusk,” Alex Berenson added.

From Wood House substack:

My apologies for two Substack posts in one night, but it appears Twitter’s Covid-19 Misleading Information Policy has been removed. Likewise, the page is no longer connected to the company’s “How We Address Misinformation on Twitter” page.

Here’s the link to copy/paste and check for yourself. https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/medical-misinformation-policy

If I’m not mistaken, the link was still active this morning when I checked it.

Wayback Machine’s last capture of the policy was November 26th. (See a previous version of the “How We Address…” page here.)

NATIONAL POLL: Do You Still Have Trump's Back 100%?

This is the same policy under which my account (@ewoodhouse7) was “permanently suspended” in July. The company claimed my direct-quote from and link to Wall Street Journal article by Allysia Finley constituted *medical misinformation* and subsequently denied all of my appeals.

Let’s take a look ourselves!

From Twitter’s ‘Transparency‘ page:

Effective November 23, 2022, Twitter is no longer enforcing the COVID-19 misleading information policy.
