They can publish in Journals but that's hardly accessible to the wider public considering most people wouldn't know where to look to find these journals or the fact that many are still behind paywalls.

In the absence of a publicly open forum (social media in this case) for them to present their own research to the public (or correct misconceptions) they will be open to manipulation from the media and the administration to fit whatever narrative they wish with little to no chance of rebuttal from the scientist.

This sort of stuff is already happening and that's with scientists able to publicly complain of misrepresentaion let alone with a gagging order in place. 

After published in any outlet anyone can repass that information as much as they want, so?

So, essentially non-issue.
