Twitter restores account of financial market website Zero Hedge

Twitter Inc said it had restored the account of financial market website Zero Hedge on its platform on Friday after concluding that suspending it was an error.

In February Twitter banned Zero Hedge after it published an article linking a Chinese scientist to the coronavirus outbreak.

"We made an error in our enforcement action in this case. Based on additional context from the account holder in appeal, we have reinstated the account," Twitter said in a statement. It gave no further detail and did not say what additional context it had received.
