Twitter censors user for tweet about transgenderism: A Twitter user shared a screenshot of their censorship notice. The user had tweeted "OPINION: The @FBI & @TheJusticeDept Are Ignoring The Growing Left-Wing Violence From #ANTIFA, #ProAbortion Groups, Anti-Family Groups, & #Trans Activist Groups. But #ProLife, #Parents At #SchoolBoard Meetings, & #January6th Protesters Are Public Enemy #1" and "BREAKING: Multiple Accounts Including Sitting Members Of Congress Are Having Their Twitter Accounts Suspended For Exposing The #ANTIFA #TransDayOfVengeance." They included an image promoting the so-called "trans day of vengeance." Twitter claimed this tweet violated "one of [its] rules," but did not specify which one. The user's account was locked until they deleted the tweet. It appears Twitter censored every post about the Trans Day of Vengeance, even if the post criticized the event. Twitter VP of Trust and Safety Ella Irwin tweeted that the platform "had to automatically sweep our platform and remove >5000 tweets /retweets of this poster. We do not support tweets that incite violence irrespective of who posts them. "Vengeance" does not imply peaceful protest. Organizing or support for peaceful protests is ok."
