Even Twitter admits it was too heavy-handed with its misinformation labels for posts about COVID-19,fingering videos especially those about the unproven connection between coronavirus infections and 5G cellular connectivity.
A Twitter Support thread on Friday explained how back in April the platform started highlighting potentially misleading posts around coronavirus and inaccurate causes of the infectious disease. But Twitter's efforts might've gone too far.
"Not all of those Tweets had potentially misleading content associating COVID-19 and 5G," Twitter admitted.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
The fact-checking measure was getting slapped onto stories and tweets that weren't full of misinformation, just merely connected or related to the 5G-corona topic.

The thread didn't go into how it'll do that exactly, but, say, an article about telecom workers threatened by 5G-corona believers should no longer get flagged as misinformation. Only articles and tweets that perpetuate unsubstantiated claims should get caught in Twitter's system once it's updated.
By the way, even with the labeling roll-back, 5G still doesn't cause coronavirus.
