Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and his merry band of censors may currently hold all the cards in dictating what the truth is, but their heavy-handed approach to controlling the platform leading up to the presidential election doesn’t account for one thing.

White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Scott Atlas got into hot water with Twitter when he posted tweets arguing that masks are ineffective. He was locked out of his account over the weekend until he deleted the offending tweets, according to The Federalist.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." "And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth." George Orwell, 1984
