Summary: Twitter has once again protected oligarchy from critics, this time banning me while citing completely irrelevant grounds (I did not even criticise vaccination)

THE MONOPOLIES on communications are truly, utterly out of control. Social control media. This morning I had another very negative experience that has taken hours of my time and still leaves me temporarily gagged (until almost midnight today). I had to ask someone who has a mobile phone (as I don't have one and Twitter demands one; they refuse to do this verification process using a landline) to help me out. The 'offensive' tweet is not critical of vaccines, it's actually critical of patent profiteering by Bill Gates, who was arrested several times and was under scrutiny in India for the deaths of girls (whom his profitable ventured had experimented on). The Government of India got involved [1, 2]. This isn't 'conspiracy theory' territories; it was reported in the mainstream media at the time.



"This isn't 'conspiracy theory' territories; it was reported in the mainstream media at the time."I'm adding 4 screenshots below (because the video above does not have them; it was recorded before making the accompanying post, as usual). They show the 'offensive' tweet, which probably offends nobody except Mr. Gates. Who does Twitter try to protect here? The population from oligarchs or oligarchs from the 'masses'? Notice that there's nothing there which suggests vaccines do not work. Nothing. Citing the Gates-sponsored WHO only contributes to the idea that Gates buys influence, e.g. inside WHO, and then exerts it to censor critics (to secure profits). To quote the New York Times (2008): "The chief of malaria for the World Health Organization has complained that the growing dominance of malaria research by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation risks stifling a diversity of views among scientists and wiping out the world health agency’s policy-making function.

"So here I am being gagged and punished for supposedly 'offending' a person who is a serial offender grilled by his own government for his crimes.""In a memorandum, the malaria chief, Dr. Arata Kochi, complained to his boss, Dr. Margaret Chan, the director general of the W.H.O., that the foundation’s money, while crucial, could have “far-reaching, largely unintended consequences.

"Many of the world’s leading malaria scientists are now “locked up in a ‘cartel’ with their own research funding being linked to those of others within the group,” Dr. Kochi wrote. Because “each has a vested interest to safeguard the work of the others,” he wrote, getting independent reviews of research proposals “is becoming increasingly difficult.”

"Also, he argued, the foundation’s determination to have its favored research used to guide the health organization’s recommendations “could have implicitly dangerous consequences on the policy-making process in world health.”"

So here I am being gagged and punished for supposedly 'offending' a person who is a serial offender grilled by his own government for his crimes. Does Twitter protect criminals from those who call them out? While citing reputable sources? My tweet is mostly just a quote from a high-quality source (news site).
