Alex Berenson was removed from Twitter for covid misinformation. He later sued Twitter and won. He forced them to reinstate his account because it was proven that what he was saying was not misinformation.

Alex berenson is exhibit A. He was kicked off for covid misinformation, then later sued Twitter and won. He forced them to reinstate his account because what he said was known scientific fact at the time and not misinformation.
So yes it absolutely did happen.
