As an example of this, I personally know several feminists who have been censored and even banned from major social media platforms for speaking up on women's rights. Their words were incorrectly flagged as "hate" and removed.

I'm sure that these organizations do some good work in removing actual threatening content but often it's also used to censor views that their operatives find objectionable simply because it doesn't concord with their own beliefs.


Who are these feminists? I don't want to not believe you but the lack of detail here feels like you're just dogwhistling feminist for transphobic


Yeah, that seems to be what it was. I pointed that out in another comment and it got falsely flagged.

I mean, were they saying stuff against transwomen? If so, then it may not have been incorrectly flagged as hate.
