       | A good chunk of misinformation spreading is safely ignorable but
       | successfully creating a large movement against getting vaccinated
       | in a pandemic is something that will cause real tangible harm
       | that "just closing Twitter" won't fix.

       | should be pretty much your ideal solution.
