You're invalidating your own point. If the tweets and posts had actually been from a bad buzzfeed article, then those pundits had the absolute right to screenshot the article and spend the next 10 years making fun of buzzfeed over it.
Even going off an assumption that what you're saying is accurate, there's no reason for post removal or account suspension, because it was not "those people" spreading disinformation or lies. If you're suggesting that Buzzfeed spread misinformation and lies, why have they not been banned?
Regardless, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. If you believe the count changes is bullshit, that's fine. I'm not going to disagree with you or agree with you. It's for courts to decide. If you need video evidence of poll watchers being blocked from witnessing counts, I'd be happy to provide some. :)
this is a simple as i can make it based on what i tracked, not that u need it simply but to avoid confusion on specifics.
Buzzfeed had a bad infographic, they updated vote counts at 4 am and only increased Bidens by 100k or so, and gave trump ZERO.
this spawned a shitload of people claiming it was clear election fraud, buzzfeed fixed the typo and gave trump the 10k or w/e votes he had at 4 am, but they missed due to a data error in their info graphic.
THEN it still got shared all over the place, even tho it was fixed, and the story shifted from election fraud to censorship in right winged media. they (right winged media) all dropped the ZERO votes for trump claim, accepted it was a data error, but moved the goal posts to censorship.
and yet even tho no media outlet is actually claiming the zero votes conspiracy, idiots on twitter are still running with it and even trumps team is winking at it. people angry over an easily disprovable lie lol.
Edit: you may be correct about the AP source, in any case it was a data error corrected VERY shortly after it was pointed out.
in any case im not throwing out the baby, i frankly dont care what toothless rednecks do for the next week at protests. but they're invalidating themselves in the eyes of the public by standing on 2 crutches where 1 is an outright lie.
