‘Musk Shares ‘What Is a Woman?’ on Twitter: A Must-See for Parents’

Elon Musk Shares ‘What Is a Woman?’ on Twitter

The saga of censorship on Twitter does not seem to be over after The Daily Wire’s posting of its “What Is a Woman?” documentary faced throttling on Twitter even after Elon Musk said the censorship of the documentary was “a mistake.”

With Musk-owned Twitter purportedly set to be the “free speech” social media outlet, the conservative outlet decided to post a free viewing of its until now pay-per-view documentary exploring the left’s corruption of what it means to be a woman.

Still, after taking the time to make a deal with Twitter for the showing and then announcing the event, The Daily Wire found the Matt Wash film was unable to be shared and carried a “hateful content” label.

It turned out Twitter’s “free speech” policy was not quite as “free” as advertised — although that appeared to have been remedied by Friday morning.

The Daily Wire film was finally free to view and repost without any hindrances.

Musk himself shared it, saying, “Every parent should watch this.”

Twitter’s “Free Speech” Policy

Things were much different on Thursday, when Walsh posted a message to The Daily Wire saying the social media platform was “suppressing” the posting of the documentary.

“The only problem is that Twitter — which professes to be a free speech platform — has already told us that the film will be labeled hate speech and suppressed,” the Matt Walsh Show account said.

After The Daily Wire and some of its hosts went on Twitter to ask why they were being censored, Musk jumped in to insist it was a “mistake.”

The outlet’s CEO, Jeremy Boreing, posted, “Twitter canceled a deal with @realdailywire to premiere What is a Woman? for free on the platform because of two instances of ‘misgendering,’” adding, “I’m not kidding.”

But Musk addressed the issue a few hours later.

“This was a mistake by many people at Twitter. It is definitely allowed,” he said in a tweet. “Whether or not you agree with using someone’s preferred pronouns, not doing so is at most rude and certainly breaks no laws.”

“I should note that I do personally use someone’s preferred pronouns, just as I use someone’s preferred name, simply from the standpoint of good manners,” he continued.

“However, for the same reason, I object to rude behavior, ostracism or threats of violence if the wrong pronoun or name is used,” the Twitter owner concluded.

Despite Musk’s assurances, though, Boreing noted excerpts of the documentary posted to Twitter were indeed labeled as “hate.”

“I appreciate the reply. We posted the two clips flagged by Twitter and they were indeed labeled ‘hateful conduct’ and the share functions were disabled on the posts,” Boreing wrote.

“I appreciate your view of polite behavior, but our business is to debate public policy and philosophy. As such, we have an obligation to speak in ways consistent with our position,” The Daily Wire chief
