Twitter is struggling to keep viral 'Plandemic' conspiracy video off its platform

• Digital Trends

The hoax — which featured discredited anti-vaccination scientist Dr. Judy Mikovits and has been debunked — sought to expose "the scientific and political elite who run the scam that is our global health system" and accused Dr. Anthony Fauci, a leading member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, of burying anti-vaccination research.

However, over the past week, the Plandemic video has continued to resurface through alternative video hosting websites.

While other social media giants such as Facebook and YouTube have managed to slow the hoax's spread, unofficial video links to the "Plandemic" documentary continue to seep through Twitter's policies and moderating algorithms.

Digital Trends found an endless stream of tweets that redirect to the conspiracy theory video. Common among most of these posts were two fairly popular video hosting platforms, BitChute and Altcensored, which are predominantly positioned as hubs for content that other, mainstream services have blocked.

More disturbingly, Digital Trends discovered Altcensored's Twitter account has been actively spamming tweets that mention the keyword "pandemic" with links to the Plandemic documentary. On top of that, Altcensored links can be played natively on Twitter so users don't have to leave the social networking site at all.
