This particular Finnish authority has not been following EU or WHO recommendations during the pandemic at all. A lot of Finns have been questioning why they ignore what everyone else in Europe is doing, while Finland is doing terribly with the pandemic. No masks, no boosters.
This was their response, big surprise
People need to stop acting like their emotions and personal beliefs matter at all when it comes to science. Your feelings don't matter, your opinion don't matter, only thing that matters when it comes to science is scientific evidence. >

That's not the only problem.
The biggest issue is that it is very easy(well, relatively easy) to take a real study and then use out of context quotes, or re-tell the results in a misleading way, or just outright lie about what the study says to further your misinformation agenda.
The rebuttal to these can take hours of work to figure out depending on the specifics, and are way too labour intensive for the average person to even begin to do, and often require high level knowledge to even understand. It's an endless game of whack-a-mole, and has really exploded with the ever expanding echo chambers online. 
Social media has really removed most kinds of nuance in favor of ingroup buzzwords and catchy or emotion inducing titles. >

It's also very easy/cheap to have someone write some bogus 'sienctific' study that says what you want to hear. >

You don't even need the "someone" anymore. Hand the assignment to GPT-3 and be done with it. >

Everyone should leave twitter. >

The rampant spread of conspiracy theories on Twitter has pushed Finland’s top health authority to stop using the platform to disseminate its public-health messages.
A lack of proper tools on the social media site means the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare is unable to effectively weed out false and deliberately misleading information, as well as inappropriate comments, from replies to its posts, according to spokeswoman Marjo Loisa. It’s taken the decision to stop sharing to its almost 100,000 followers, freeing up resources from content moderation.
“Our tweets and their comments are used as a platform for spreading disinformation and Twitter doesn’t provide proper tools to block this,” Loisa said in an emailed response to questions. “This has grown to be a major problem during the pandemic.”
