Alex Berenson Returns To Twitter Following ‘Permanent’ Suspension

Twitter has reinstated the account of journalist and author Alex Berenson the social media company suspended him for allegedly violating its COVID “misinformation” policy.

Berenson, who had filed a lawsuit against Twitter in April, returned to the platform on Wednesday.

The journalist published a piece on his “Unreported Truths” Substack that began with an official statement, which reads:

“The parties have come to a mutually acceptable resolution. I have been reinstated. Twitter has acknowledged that my tweets should have not led to my suspension at that time.

“To recap: last August, Twitter banned me after I got five strikes under its Covid-19 misinformation policy. Which meant I’d supposedly made ‘claims of fact’ that were ‘demonstrably false or misleading’ and ‘likely to impact public safety or cause serious harm’ (that’s the policy, that’s what it takes to get a strike, look it up). Now we come to find those tweets ‘should not have led to my suspension’? Oopsie,” Berenson wrote.

Berenson says the settlement precludes him from revealing further details but added that the “settlement does not end my investigation into the pressures that the government may have placed on Twitter to suspend my account. I will have more to say on that issue in the near future.”

Berenson, author of “Pandemia” and the “Unreported Truths” series about the response to COVID, joined the Hammer and Nigel Show Thursday to discuss his battle against Twitter and triumphant return to the platform.
