Twitter censors the Media Research Center for calling attention to the "Trans Day of Vengence": The MRCTV tweeted that “A Trans Day of Vengence' was planned to take place in DC this weekend, days after the Tennessee shooting by a transgender male. One of the event's organizers, however, has made all of their social media accounts private and removed details of the event," and linked to an MRCTV article calling out the protest set to take place on April 1. Twitter removed the tweet for allegedly "violating our rules against violent speech." The notice scolded MRCTV claiming that the account "may not share abusive content, harass someone, or encourage other people to do so." 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."
