Twitter Admits it Was Wrong to Ban Alex Berenson and Reinstates His Account in First Ever Tech Censorship Legal Dispute Climbdown

by Will Jones
8 July 2022 7:00 AM

Journalist Alex Berenson’s Twitter account has been reinstated as part of a resolution to a censorship lawsuit that both parties agreed to settle earlier this week. Reclaim the Net has the story.

Berenson shared an official reinstatement statement where Twitter acknowledged its error in suspending his account: “The parties have come to a mutually acceptable resolution. I have been reinstated. Twitter has acknowledged that my tweets should have not led to my suspension at that time.”

Twitter suspended Berenson last year after flagging one of his tweets that questioned the effectiveness of Covid vaccines and suggested that they’re “at best… a therapeutic with a limited window of efficacy and terrible side effect profile that must be dosed IN ADVANCE OF ILLNESS.”

Berenson responded by suing Twitter and accusing the tech platform of acting “on behalf of the Federal Government in censoring and barring him from access to its platform”.

After being reinstated, Berenson tweeted and pinned the statement that led to his suspension.

Berenson also noted that the settlement “does not end my investigation into the pressures that the Government may have placed on Twitter to suspend my account” and said he’ll provide more information on this issue in the near future.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who has offered to buy Twitter for $44 billion, responded to Berenson’s reinstatement by asking for further details on the pressures the Government may have placed on Twitter.

“I wish I could,” Berenson tweeted in response to Musk. “But the settlement with @Twitter prevents me from doing so. However, in the near future I hope and expect to have more to report.”

Reclaim the Net notes that it is the first time a large tech platform has admitted it should not have banned a prominent user and reinstated his or her account as part of a legal settlement.

Worth reading in full.

There is an article in the Mailonline about that freak featured above that is being used in adverts by the despicable companies listed. As usual the Mailonline cuts comment sections short so most of us cannot have our say. I cannot see the point of a comment section if you won’t allow comments. But the Mailonline do this all the time on issues such as this or the illegals in boats etc. ——-I will NEVER EVER purchase anything from these Woke Capitalists seeking to make profit out of this vomit inducing garbage and pretending that profit isn’t important.

By referring to the bloke Mulvaney (with meat ‘n’ two veg’ intact I understand) as ‘she’ you diminish your own argument. Neither is he a celebrity. Call it out for what it is, like Megyn Kelly is brave enough to do, expletives included.

Do you think that a sweat shop full of dingy divers in the UK sharing 20 to a room that have a low grasp of English are going to set time aside to fill out their census.

its the same with the muslim community, they are quite an insular bunch I cant imagine them spending time on the census.

Mulvaney is a man not a she.

Toby, I have nothing but admiration for what you have done by setting up this site and it’s previous incarnation; I’ve even recently upped my monthly donation as a minor contribution to ensuring it’s survival. But referring to Mulvaney as “she” really does give the inch to the transactivitists that they do not deserve. I’m a bit hardcore on the subject, aligning myself 100% with Posie Parker (Kelly-Jay Keen) on the gender identity line, so maybe I’m on the extreme side of the argument; but I would have thought that paying respect to Mulvaney’s pronouns in the context of the issue at hand, i.e. the insidious hollowing out of womanhood by men and the genuflexion of woke big business in colluding with that objective, means that special care is needed not to give any quarter when taking them on. Period.

It just sounds wrong when Toby refers to Dylan Mulvaney as ‘she’.
