Twitter Allows Transphobic Film After Conservative Uproar [View all]
Elon Musks version of Twitter continues to cater to the far right, but conservative outlets have found that the platform may still limit some hateful rhetoric. For example, the Daily Wire was preparing to start streaming its podcasts on Twitter, but the social media company reportedly balked at a deal to stream a documentary that was anti-transgender.
On Thursday morning, far-right news outlet Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing tweeted that Twitter had refused to show What Is a Woman?, an anti-trans documentary The Daily Wire planned to broadcast in conjunction with the beginning of Pride Month on June 1. The film was labeled as hateful on Twitter based on instances in which transgender people were misgendered, Boreing claimed.
...According to Musk, Twitters decision failed to meet Musks expectations.
This was a mistake by many people at Twitter. It is definitely allowed, Musk wrote in a tweet in response to a claim that Twitter banned misgendering.
Musk also wrote, The controversy will drive up viewership, as the wealthiest man in the world elevated the hateful and bigoted film.
