It's easy to blame the algo or some low level staffer when a platform gets called out publicly for blatant censorship.

The ex-CEO of Twitter, Hipster Rasputin whatshisname, admitted that censoring the Biden laptop story from the NY Post in October 2020, and shutting down any account that shared the story, was a "mistake" and only reinstated the NY Post account 2 weeks after they said it was a mistake. Of course he blamed the Post because they "only" needed to delete the tweet with the link to the story in order to reinstate the account.

If the ban was a "mistake" then why do they need to delete the tweet?
