This tweet posted on 3/23 was a screenshot of a trans activist account @OurRightsDC which had posted a graphic calling for a “Trans Day of Vengeance” post

It does not violate any rule, and yet @elizamondegreen has been locked out for it

This was the image that was posted by @OurRightsDC for “Trans Day of Vengeance” which Eliza reposted in the tweet that got her locked by Twitter admin.

@OurRightsDC locked their account yesterday

Twitter left blank the rule supposedly violated here in this notice of suspension: (“Specifically for:”….)

No rule was violated.

Time to restore this account that broke not rules

Remove staffers censoring tweets that break no rules in service of political agendas

"This is what it looks like when a subculture makes victimization and violence—directed at the self or against perceived enemies—central to the group's identity. Mythologize suicide and martyrdom and you will recruit suicides and martyrs to your cause." elizamondegreen.substack.com/p/im-in-twitte…

Appeal denied: "You will not be able to access Twitter through your account due to violations of the Twitter Rules, specifically around rules around: ________________"

Yeah it seems they are taking the "Trans Day of Vengeance" down for those boosting it as well as those calling attention to the fact that they are boosting it.

They only did so after a mass shooting.

I understand the conundrum. This post came a few days before a mass murder of children. It wasn't seen as incitement prior to that (though it was) and now it appears to be. So they can't allow incitement to flourish but they also are banning evidence of the incitement.
