Twitter locks user’s account over tweet questioning Joe Biden’s health

Twitter is on an account-locking spree.

With just a few hours to go until the first 2020 US presidential debate, Twitter has locked the account of Leinad (@inversedaniel) for tweeting about the health of 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden - a move that will prevent Leinad from tweeting until after the debate.

Biden's health has become a primary concern for many people due to his age and frequent gaffes during interviews. Over the last few days alone, Biden has claimed that he got to the Senate 180 years ago and had to be helped by MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle after losing his train of thought during an interview.

Yet despite the newsworthiness and relevance of discussions related to Biden's health in the run-up to tonight's debate, Twitter censored Leinad and forced him to delete the tweet.

YouTuber John Swan (@JohnSwanYT) provided a screenshot of the tweet that led to Twitter locking Leinad's account. The screenshot shows Leinhad responding to a tweet about Biden requesting breaks during tonight's debate with: "biden needs those breaks bro he will have a heart attack on live tv."
