Pre-Musk, I was not banned for life at Twitter for publishing "disinformation". I was banned for a post I made describing a real experience I had.
On Twitter, one normally only sees - in one's feed - posts by those one follows. Unless one a) specifically searches for something, b) reads adverts, or c) reads posts selected by the algorithm "for you". As such it's difficult for disinformation to enter one's feed unless one specifically looks for it, or foolishly follows people who habitually post it. Most accounts in my feed are edited by one single person in control. There's little scope for government to apply mass censorship - without a mass-purge of these distinct individuals publishing their opinions, citizen-news and research.
The advice to give people on twitter is - follow accounts you trust, unless you're specifically there to read what the "other side" have to say on an issue. By now, I only follow accounts I trust. BTW: I was able to get back on Twitter, but only with a brand new anonymous account.
The European Enlightenment was the product of many single individuals communicating via books, pamphlets, letters, salon discussions. Enlightenment communication was bottom-up; just like Twitter is today. TPTB really fear this bottom-up communication; just as they did during The Enlightenment. They cannot control what we think, nor what we discuss.
