Twitter censors user for speaking out against backlash over Halle Berry playing a transgender person: A Twitter user got in trouble for a common idiom while speaking out against backlash over Halle Berry playing a transgender role. She tweeted the following: “Instead of something that could have been an opportunity to spread a positive message, now this project is viewed with disdain for this insanity. They lost Halle, a big box office draw, plus they look like bullies. Way to shoot yourself in the foot.” Twitter determined this violated its rules against promoting or encouraging suicide or self harm. Even after an appeal, the ruling stood, despite this being a common expression that has nothing to do with promoting self harm. The user was forced to delete the tween in order to regain access to her account.
