Id have to see specific examples as this is pretty vague. And I believe Dorsey said himself that misinformation is not against the Twitter rules (might have an exception for certain topics though). Probably because half the users on the site would be kicked off in a year.
Also think we need to be careful about the term "misinformation" as that can at times mean my opinion vs your opinion. For instance Fauci flipped on masks several times (im not hating on the guy)...but which time was it misinformation and not misinformation? This is exactly why people need to be entitled to their opinions in a free expression form. You can direct the conversation without kicking people off and censoring people. Another example is Twitter completely flopping when censoring the NY Post "misinformation" which turned out to be undeniably true.

I just read the Wikipedia Twitter suspension list. It's alarming - many of the reasons for the suspensions were false, if not absurd, and those suspensions should never have happened in the first place.
It's like snowflakes run amok at a major media platform.
Didn't Twitter even explicitly carve out an exemption for 'political figures'? Which let's be honest means Trump.
