Twitter has updated its coronavirus guidelines, stating it will remove unverified claims that cause “widespread panic” or encourage people to act on conspiracy theories, after phone masts across the U.K. were set alight following bogus claims about 5G.The social media platform said on Wednesday that content such as “5G causes coronavirus! Go destroy the cell towers in your neighborhood!” would violate their policy and be removed.
Tweets that also violate the policy by causing “widespread panic,” including content such as “The National Guard just announced that no more shipments of food will be arriving for two months! Run to the grocery store and buy everything!” will also be deleted. However, the platform stopped short of saying it would take down coronavirus misinformation altogether.
“As we’ve said previously, we will not take enforcement action on every Tweet that contains incomplete or disputed information about COVID-19,” a spokesperson
Stop calling unproven theories 'conspiracy theories.' It brands you pompous & unthinking. Many scientists are looking at 5G's potential negative health effects. (search pubmed) Wuhan's 5G rollout preceding coronavirus outbreak may or may not be a coincidence.
Do the racists next
So is the main stream media not fact checking
Why is it harmful? Who is the information harmful for; the elite globalist agenda, or the people? Why is it harmful if we converse and discuss 5G? We want to know about and we have the right to discourse. internetofthings
Why? We don't need Twitter to ban information. We don't need censorship. We need to make up our own minds. We are intelligent and can think for ourselves. censorship
That's like saying 'I swatted some wasps. There are no wasps now'. The place is still full of them and there appears to be no correct reporting tool option for misinformation.
Great move Twitter.
Corona stop to kill people
Twitter should also ban chinese and russian trolls here.
What is 5G conspiracies
It is against the freedom of speech and expression.

BIGNOAH256 This makes me think it's true. With all other harmful accounts that tweet dangerous information non-stop.
We need to think for ourselves. Letting twitter censor speech is dangerous. Just because some people believe stupid things does not mean that twitter should be allowed to control what everyone hears. censorship
Hmmm...won't ban trump's dangerous lies against humanity, but defends 5G against lies against technology...both these decisions are purely to help lil jack's greedy businesses.
Now they should kick off the nazis
conspiracy
The beginning of new world order phase? ... funny how twitter can band conspiracies but not actual racist trolls and racism
Too bad they didn’t ban the conspiracy theories from The IMPOTUS saying the virus is like the flu, opening up states that don’t have enough ppe and ultimately his entire account.
Twitter, YouTube, Facebook etc are all 'publishers' not platforms for free speech and government protection needs to be removed immediately!
