University surgeon says 'science should have no gag rules' after Twitter censorship
Makary said that in order to fix those problems, the government should lift the"gag rule" on health officials talking to the press. However, he said misinformation has been a problem for multiple presidential administrations, not just the current one.
"This has been going on for a long time, where state-controlled media censors all information that is not aligned with the leading political party in power. And that's sadly what we're seeing right here," Makary said."There's a long list of misinformation from the government. They just wanted to change the narrative."
A different doctor, Marc Siegel, said censorship that comes from the government was"on the road to totalitarianism," according to the outlet. The statements follow the latest string of bombshells from the Twitter Files, which claimed that the White House"rigged the COVID debate" by censoring information that was"inconvenient to government policy." It also discredited doctors and experts who disagreed with the administration's narrative and suppressed ordinary users, including those who shared data from the CDC, according to journalist David Zweig.
Zweig also determined that Twitter's moderation was largely done by bots or contractors in places such as the Philippines, where their lack of medical expertise contributed to a large number of errors in its censorship. However, high levels of bias among former Twitter leadership also contributed to the censorship, according to Zweig.Previous revelations from the Twitter Files showed that the CIA, the FBI, and other government agencies had pressured Twitter to cave to political pressure.
