By deleting the tweet, Kirk acknowledges that his tweet violates Twitter\u2019s rules.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter has repeatedly been censoring users that commented mockingly on USA Today\u2019s declaration of Levine as \u201cWoman of the Year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/twitter-locks-out-babylon-bee-over-rachel-levine-tweet-the-bee-responds-truth-is-not-hate-speech\">announced<\/a> Saturday that Twitter had censored The Babylon Bee\u00a0for \u201chateful conduct.\u201d\u00a0The account was locked over a Babylon Bee <a href=\"https:\/\/babylonbee.com\/news\/the-babylon-bees-man-of-the-year-is-rachel-levine\">piece<\/a>\u00a0jokingly naming Levine as \u201cMan of the Year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/texas-ag-flagged-on-twitter-for-hateful-conduct-after-calling-biologically-male-rachel-levine-a-man\">also took action<\/a> against\u00a0Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who also referred to Levine as a man. Though\u00a0Twitter flagged the tweet as \u00a0hateful, the platform allowed Paxton\u2019s tweet to remain, stating, \u201cThis tweet violated the Twitter Rules about hateful conduct. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public\u2019s interest for the tweet to remain accessible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Paxton deeply criticized Twitter for censoring accounts for stating \u201can irrefutable scientific fact:\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Yesterday I stated an irrefutable scientific fact: Rachel Levine is a man. I pointed this out after USA Today named him a \u201cWoman\u201d of the Year. But Levine is not a woman. He has one X and one Y chromosome and other male-sex characteristics. I just follow the science.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For simply saying this matter-of-factly, Twitter blocked it as \u201chateful.\u201d Users can now only access my statement through a trigger-warning filter. And even then, users can neither like it nor comment on it. At the same time, hundreds of other verified accounts saying the exact same thing remain untouched and unfiltered.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This whole insane episode represents a two-pronged attack from the left \u2014 both of which I\u2019m vigorously fighting against. First is the left\u2019s war against human biology, and especially against women. Second is their weaponization of Big Tech against conservative voices.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But Big Tech is not only anti-conservative and anti-Republican. It is now apparently anti-truth and anti-science. I will continue to use all my power to hold them accountable.
