It's starting, folks. Twitter is being sued by its users for its biased enforcement policy. It can't come soon enough. It will be driven into bankruptcy by the flood of lawsuits that's coming.
Twitter sued by feminist blogger blocked over 'men aren't women' tweet: lawsuit
Social media giant Twitter is being sued by a Canadian blogger who says she was permanently banned from the platform last year for her tweets about transgender people, a lawsuit said Monday.
Meghan Murphy, the founder of the blog Feminist Current, was locked out of her account last year when the company asked her to delete a tweet that said, “Men aren’t women,” CNET reported, citing the lawsuit. A second tweet said, “How are transwomen not men?” according to the suit.
She had violated the social media site’s rules against hateful conduct when she referenced a transgender woman as “him,” resulting in her ban, the Mercury News reported.
