Via The AP:
Twitter has quietly removed a policy against the “targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals,” raising concerns that the Elon Musk-owned platform is becoming less safe for marginalized groups.
Twitter enacted the policy against deadnaming, or using a transgender person’s name before they transitioned, as well as purposefully using the wrong gender for someone as a form of harassment, in 2018.
On Monday, Twitter also said it will only put warning labels on some tweets that are “potentially” in violation of its rules against hateful conduct. Previously, the tweets were removed.
Twitter is rapidly becoming the online equivalent of Florida.
Since the Elon Musk take over of Twitter’s the social media giant now has a work force of less than 2,000, down from 7,500 which also might have something to do with it.
