George Hotz gives a good example [1]:

> Cloth masks are ineffective against covid, that's a true statement, every doctor in 2019 knew it, and now I'm banned on twitter for saying it? Interesting.

Keep in mind for every famous ban, there might be a few orders of magnitude more bans of small accounts we don't hear about given Twitter "use(d) Artificial Intelligence to identify posts" "that are misleading enough to cause harm to people" [2].

Also keep in mind this is one topic of thousands that could get an account banned, there is no shortage.

Please keep in mind my broader point is simply Twitter might have felt like a community for some, but not for everyone. If someone's banned for stating hard truths, that's frustrating to say the least, and I think to some extent makes the individual feel like it's a not a welcoming/fair community to be part of.
