Twitter censors author Rod Dreher for tweet quoting Nashville shooter: Author and The American Conservative editor Rod Dreher noted on Twitter that his account was censored for a tweet in which he quoted the Nashville shooter. Dreher provided a purported screenshot showing that Twitter locked his account until he deleted the tweet, citing its rules against "violent speech," though there was no screenshot available showing the content of the tweet. There was a missing tweet in Dreher's feed that noted that "This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules." At the time, Dreher was tweeting extensively about the Nashville shooting and the Trans Day of Vengeance. 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."
