Twitter censors user for tweet about so-called 'Trans Day of Vengeance': A Twitter user shared a screenshot of her censorship notice. The user tweeted "And it's on the 1st of April. Is this literally a joke?" She included an image of the so-called "Trans Day of Vengeance" poster. The user's account was locked until she 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."
