Censorship of COVID-19 Truths
Big tech companies played a crucial role in censoring voices that spoke against the mainstream narrative surrounding COVID-19 from 2020 to 2022. Individuals, including journalists and politicians, were suspended or banned for expressing skepticism about the vaccines or questioning the efficacy of masks. For instance, former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson was permanently suspended from Twitter after claiming that the vaccine did not stop infection and could only function as a therapeutic. This encapsulated a broader trend where platforms restricted legitimate discourse on the pandemic, aligning with an agenda that often contradicted later admissions from health authorities themselves.
