The Pontifical Academy for Contraception "deleted" a tweet on August 10 that questioned that the Church's condemnation of contraception is infallible.
The Academy's Fabrizio Mastrofini asked PillarCatholic.com "not to speak" about the cancellation, a ploy to encouraging the outlet to talk about it.
Earlier, the Academy’s account had labelled negative responses to the tweet as "insults and out-of-control criticism" from "fake accounts." Loudly proclaiming a lie and then "retracting" it, is an old manipulation tactic of dishonest politicians to get people used to untruths.
Since June, the Academy’s Twitter account has been promoting a Vatican published book that advocates contraception.
Spanish bioethicist Elena Postigo, an Academy member, distanced herself from the book saying that "many members" of the Academy had not know about it.

I am not sure whether this was a clear tactic. They were simply getting crushed in the comments repeatedly and facing pushback from their own members. This may have been genuine incompetence.
