Twitter seemed to have blocked links from Twitter that were linked to A Daily MailArticle that asked about the deaths from COVID-19 in Britain.
Author of the article: Daily Mail’s deputy health editor, Eve Simmons, and alleged that the UK’s government may have vastly overstated the number of deaths from the virus.
“Did official figures overestimate Britain’s grim Covid death toll?” the article’s headline asks.
“Health chiefs admitted, embarrassingly, that the numbers they’d been feeding the Government were only an approximation – provoking fury from Ministers,” Simmons wrote.
“More recently it was revealed that a quarter of Omicron deaths included in the daily figures did not, in fact, list Covid as a primary cause. More than two years since Covid-19 emerged, many feel they want a simple answer: how many were killed by this virus?”
Based on Get Back Your NetTwitter showed a message accompanying the link that users shared with Twitter.
“Warning: this link may be unsafe,” a Twitter display read.
“The link you are trying to access has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially spammy or unsafe, in accordance with Twitter’s URL Policy,” the message continued.
Twitter appeared to reverse its course shortly after the news about the block was spread. Get Back Your NetReports indicate that the platform had stopped blocking blocks around Sunday morning.
