Twitter censors user for responding to UK gender affirming charity tweet: A Twitter user shared another user's censorship notice. The censored user was responding to a tweet from Mermaids, a UK-based "transgender" affirming charity, who said "Due to intolerable abuse, we have made the decision to close the helpline and webchat services for the rest of today and tomorrow. Next week, to enable us to take all volunteers off the rota, we will reduce hours to 9am to 6pm only. We do not make this decision lightly, but our duty of care towards staff and volunteers necessitates a harm reduction approach to protect our dedicated staff and volunteer team. We hope to be able to resume normal working hours as soon as possible." The censored user responded saying "Yeah it's that DoC towards kids that people are steamed about. #ProNonce." "DoC" refers to the "duty of care" noted in the Mermaids tweet. Twitter found this user's tweet to violate its "rules against hateful conduct." The user's account was locked until she deleted the tweet.
