The speech ban has included information the government later conceded was true but that conflicted with the government’s messaging on Covid-19 at the time. On March 3, the Surgeon General demanded that the tech companies turn over information about individuals who spread such “misinformation,” a clear intimidation tactic. In response to government pressure, Twitter has permanently banned Mr. Senger, and temporaril…
