Covid 19 Censorship on Medium

5 points by ccleve ↗ HN
Aaron Ginn has written a thoughtful, well-researched piece on the spread of Covid 19:

But as of 12:30 pm US central time / 5:30 pm UTC, Medium is returning a "410 This post is under investigation or was found in violation of the Medium Rules."

You can still read an earlier version of the post on Internet Archive, without pictures, unfortunately: https://web.archive.org/web/20200321144004/https://medium.com/six-four-six-nine/evidence-over-hysteria-covid-19-1b767def5894

Yet another reason to dump Medium as a blogging platform...

I notice it. Somebody posted on social media and I was reading it last night. I was reading through the comments (most of them were criticizing the content) When I refreshed the page, I got the 410 error.

The article had some inaccurate info but also some new sources of data that I was not aware of.

I think was an interesting reading.

I wonder what Medium Rules it was in violation.
