Twitter users who spread COVID vaccine misinformation face permanent ban

https://www.localmemphis.com/mobile/article/news/health/coronavirus/vaccine/covid-misinformation-twitter-pemanent-ban/507-eb118ea7-dd00-4507-950d-dcfbe16aa707

Twitter is launching a five-strike system that can lead to permanent suspension for the repeated spread of harmful COVID-19 vaccine misinformation.

Twitter will permanently ban users who repeatedly spread misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine, the social media platform announced Monday.

Twitter said it has started applying labels to tweets "that may contain misleading information about COVID-19 vaccines" in addition to its overall effort to remove "the most harmful" misleading COVID-19 information in general.
