Author, professor and nationally syndicated radio host locked out of Twitter account for 12 hours: Dr. Michael Brown is an accomplished spiritual leader who has preached in more than 25 nations and has authored more than 30 books over the course of his career. Brown was notified by Twitter that for 12 hours he would lose access to the major functions of his account, such as tweeting, retweeting, or "liking" other posts, because he had violated the platform's rules. "I was informed that I had been locked out my account for 12 hours," Brown wrote in a blog post on The Stream. According to Brown's blog post his violating tweet read: "Will I get punished by Twitter for saying that, in God’s sight, 'Rachel' Levine (nominated by Biden to be his assistant secretary for HHS) is a man?'” Brown questioned why it is that when biological truth conflicts with transgender activism, biological truth is always banned. "In reality, Twitter is stifling public conversation and harassing people who believe things as basic as this: in God’s sight, a biological male remains a male, even when identifying as a female," Brown wrote.
