Eliezer has retracted that comment, and has stated that such retractions should be spoilered as they are no longer common knowledge.

Eliezer does not have the power to declare what is common knowledge. Common knowledge is an objective element of the world, not directly subject to authority. What he can exert power to enforce is that all repetitions of said common knowledge are censored.
