BREAKING: Stanford partnered with Twitter, Biden admin to censor 'stories of true vaccine side effects': Twitter Files
Truth, repeatedly, was labeled a "disinformation event" if that truth caused skepticism among others.

Matt Taibbi has unearthed still more evidence of collusion and censorship at Twitter, all done by people and institutions who believed that they were righteous in their efforts to ban and block Americans from telling the truth about their own personal experiences with the Covid vaccine. This time, it's Stanford University and their Virality Project that told officials what information should be banned.

Taibbi reports that Stanford's Virality Project took issue with accounts that used factual information to question the "expert guidance" of Dr. Anthony Fauci, former head of the NIAID. He notes that accounts that questioned the "Wuhan wet market" origin story of Covid, instead suggesting that the virus could have leaked from a Wuhan Virology Lab, were suspect per Stanford. That "lab leak" theory is now the primary Covid-origin theory per officials.  ...

All of these, Taibbi reports, were "characterized as 'potential violations' or disinformation 'events' by the Virality Project, a sweeping, cross-platform effort to monitor billions of social media posts by Stanford University, federal agencies, and a slew of (often state-funded) NGOs."

The Virality Project had targeted "stories of true vaccine side effects" as actionable content, and in 2021, they "worked with government to launch a pan-industry monitoring plan for Covid-related content. At least six major Internet platforms were 'onboarded' to the same JIRA ticketing system, daily sending millions of items for review." ...

This installment may be the most chilling yet. Stanford’s Virality Project attempted to silence people for sharing inarguably true facts and legitimate opinions. The anti-misinformation movement has nothing to do with finding truth and everything to do with protecting authority.
