Feminist sues Twitter after getting banned for saying ‘men aren’t women’
Canadian feminist writer Meghan Murphy is taking Twitter to court over its policy on transgender-related speech after she was booted from the platform for questioning the prevailing gender dogma.
Murphy’s suit claims Twitter has been fraudulently misrepresenting itself as a “free speech platform” and failed to notify users of changes to its Hateful Conduct Policy, which the company cited as the reason for banning her in November.
Twitter “refuses to be accountable for its ideologically-motivated efforts to quell free speech,” Murphy said in a video posted on Monday – even though, she points out, Twitter executives themselves proudly boast that “we are the free speech wing of the Free Speech Party.”
“Twitter repeatedly promised and represented that it would uphold the free speech rights of its users and not engage in viewpoint-based censorship in its advertising, Rules, public statements and Terms of Service,” Murphy says in the lawsuit. “These promises and representations were material to the decision of millions of users, like Murphy, to join. Without these promises, Twitter would not have been able to attract a critical mass of users to its platform.”
The FeministCurrent editor insists she broke no Twitter rules that would have triggered her deplatforming, while her detractors – including several prominent transgender activists – violated several by harassing and threatening her, including with fake accounts. They were never punished, she says.
