Reply to comment by EvenSpoonier in ELI5: what does ‘social media companies independently deplatforming individuals’ mean? by XinrongZou28

What a lovely unbiased answer. It definitely wouldn’t be something like the people kicked off Twitter for covid “misinformation” that were later proven right.

Seeing as that hasn't happened, I'm not sure it works for an example.

Alex berenson is exhibit A. He was kicked off for covid misinformation, then later sued Twitter and won. He forced them to reinstate his account because what he said was known scientific fact at the time and not misinformation.

So yes it absolutely did happen.
