    Twitter Permanently Suspends Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Account
    The social media service said the Republican congresswoman had violated
    its policy on coronavirus misinformation.
    ; Jan. 2, 2022 Updated 12:41 p.m. ET

    Twitter on Sunday permanently suspended the personal account of
    Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican of Georgia, […]

    Twitter suspended Ms. Greene’s account after she tweeted on Saturday, falsely, about “extremely high amounts of Covid vaccine deaths.” She included a misleading chart that pulled information from a government
    database of unverified raw data called the Vaccine Adverse Event
    Reporting System, or VAERS, a decades-old system that relies on
    self-reported cases from patients and health care providers.

    Twitter said that Ms. Greene had a fifth “strike,” which meant that her account will not be restored. […]

    Not unexpected.
    All other things equal, a rising power tends to allow more "free speech."
    In contrast, a declining power tends to allow less "free speech."

    May be you should distinguish could not happen in PRC because the people
    trust the government. And could not happen in PRC because the people fear
    the government. Do you simply assume the later withing doubt thinking?

    No Misunderstanding.

    Culture is about solving a society/nation's problems. Soft power means
    a country had successfully solve many problems and it is likely to have
    the institution to solve unforeseen problems for their citizens as well citizens of other nations. And of course, a powerful and still rising power would have less problem in gaining the trust of the people.

    Trust means speech contradicting the authority would have a lot less followers. If less intelligent people are misled, the society still could
    have ways to save them. A lot of ground for "free but potentially harmful speech."

    Long live freedom of (*correct*) speech! ;-)
    Court isn't needed to punish in US Twitterland, is it?

    It could not happen in PRC! ;-)

    Not unexpected.
    All other things equal, a rising power tends to allow more "free speech."
    In contrast, a declining power tends to allow less "free speech."

    A complete misunderstanding of the situation.
    Is it (more likely) misunderstanding or misrepresentation?
    "True but misleading description" fits better IMHO :-)
    Agreed.
    So...
    Is the U.S. getting to be like China???
    or
    China is just like the U.S.????
    I dunno. But I just found out that the sim cards for iPhones and Androids are interchangeable!
    You should buy a Huawei phone!!! They are all interchangeable and better!!!! https://www.bing.com/search?q=huawei+phones&form=ANNTH1&refig=3d6759f8a784485a93dcc5a203599ddb&sp=2&qs=SC&pq=huaei&sk=PRES1SC1&sc=8-5&cvid=3d6759f8a784485a93dcc5a203599ddb

    No, I'm using the ole' black AT&T table-top phone of the 1960s model type... I'm a hermit, remember? The only companion I have is my TV. My only contact to the outside is my computer... The only time I see the sun is when I take my dog out for a walk...
