As Fox News notes, Berenson wrote in a December op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that the pandemic had ushered in a "new age of censorship and suppression."
"Information has never been more plentiful or easier to distribute. Yet we are sliding into a new age of censorship and suppression, encouraged by technology giants and traditional media companies. As someone who’s been falsely characterized as a coronavirus ‘denier,’" he wrote, adding "I have seen this crisis firsthand."
When he wrote the Op-Ed, Berenson had been in a recent battle with Amazon over his self-published books.
"Since June, Amazon has twice tried to suppress self-published booklets I have written about Covid-19 and the response to it," he wrote. "These booklets don’t contain conspiracy theories. Like the scientists who wrote the Great Barrington Declaration, I simply believe many measures to control the coronavirus have been damaging, counterproductive and unsupported by science."
While Berenson's Saturday night Substack post alluded to a lawsuit against Twitter, attorney Preston Byrne thinks it's a long shot.
Berenson's full speech - where he slams big tech for controlling narratives and censoring divergent opinions, is (for now), below:https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/twitter-permanently-bans-alex-berenson-after-viral-tweets?utm_campaign=&utm_content=Zerohedge%3A+The+Durden+Dispatch&utm_medium=email&utm_source=zh_newsletter
