James Lindsay permanently banned from Twitter after calling Harvard instructor a 'child sexualization specialist'



Mathematician and cultural critic James Lindsay has been permanently suspended from Twitter after a left-wing writer reported him for "hateful conduct."

Lindsay was suspended for violating Twitter rules against hateful conduct. According to a screenshot of an email Twitter sent to Lindsay, one of his tweets was said to promote "violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease." The email Twitter sent to Lindsay was reported by the Post Millennial.

The offending tweet read, "Ok, child sexulaization [sic] specialist." Lindsay wrote it on Thursday in reply to Alejandra Caraballo, a clinical instructor at Harvard Law School's Cyberlaw Clinic, who had quote tweeted something he posted and wrote, "Your misogynoir is showing."

Caraballo revealed Friday morning that she reported Lindsay and was proud of that fact. "Tell James, I want him to know it was me," she wrote in a tweet with screenshots showing she submitted a report for hateful conduct.

"We suspended @ConceptualJames's account for breaking our hateful conduct rule. We found they broke our hateful conduct rule through different reports received about their behavior," Twitter said in a notification to Caraballo.

"They aren't allowed to create new accounts. We let people know that they've suspended, the safety rules they broke, and which content broke our rules," Twitter said.

Lindsay's suspension comes weeks after he was previously locked out of his Twitter account for violating the platform's rules by using the term "groomer." In July, Twitter updated its hateful conduct policy and announced that accounts that use the term "groomer" against transgender or nonbinary people would be in violation of its rules against "hateful conduct."

"We are committed to combating abuse motivated by hatred, prejudice, or intolerance, particularly abuse that seeks to silence the voices of those who have been historically marginalized," Twitter health product communications lead Lauren Alexander said at the time. "For this reason, we prohibit behavior that targets individuals or groups with abuse based on their perceived membership in a protected category. Use of this term is prohibited under our Hateful Conduct policy when it is used as a descriptor, in context of discussion of gender identity."

Lindsay was also suspended in May for tweeting "misleading" information about COVID-19 vaccines.

In a statement to the Post Millennial, Lindsay was unapologetic.

"Twitter has inconvenienced me and simultaneously confessed that they have a vested interest in protecting the sexualization of children. This also suggests the possibility of an untoward relationship between Twitter and Media Matters, which deserves investigation," he said.

He added, "I'm glad they've drawn so much attention to the issue, in any case. It has to stop. We must protect our children."

Twitter finally suspends 'Ruth Sent Us' after group posted home addresses of Supreme Court justices



A pro-abortion rights group that encouraged far-left activists to protest outside the homes of several U.S. Supreme Court justices has been suspended on Twitter.

The group, Ruth Sent Us, published the home addresses of the six Republican-appointed Supreme court justices in May after a leaked draft majority opinion indicated the court would soon overturn its landmark Roe v. Wade abortion decision.

"Our 6-3 extremist Supreme Court routinely issues rulings that hurt women, racial minorities, LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights," the group's website declared at the time. "We must rise up to force accountability using a diversity of tactics."

Since then, leftist groups have conducted numerous protests targeting the homes of Justices John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.

Ruth Sent Us has organized and encouraged the protests, posting the daily schedules of justices and even the addresses of schools attended by Barrett's and Kavanaugh's children.

"If you’re in the DC metro area, join us. Our protests at Barrett’s home moved the needle to this coverage," Ruth Sent Us said in a June tweet that has since been deleted.

"Falls Church is a People of Praise stronghold. She sends her seven kids to a People of Praise school that she sat on the Board of Directors for. She attends church DAILY," the tweet said.

The group's activities appeared to clearly violate Twitter rules against posting "private information" on its platform.

"You may not publish or post other people's private information (such as home phone number and address) without their express authorization and permission. We also prohibit threatening to expose private information or incentivizing others to do so," the rules state.

On Thursday, the account owned by Ruth Sent Us was finally suspended.

Ruth Sent Us had also been temporarily banned on TikTok in May but has since had its account reinstated, Fox News reports.

Anything Else?

Leftist outrage over the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which returned the abortion issue to the states, has spawned violent threats against the court's justices and pro-life groups nationwide.

A terrorist group called Jane's Revenge has claimed credit for crimes of firebombing, vandalism, and arson targeting crisis pregnancy centers and a congressional office.

In June, a man was indicted after he went to Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home with the intention to kill him for voting to overturn Roe.

Conservatives have criticized Twitter for inconsistent enforcement of its policies against speech that purportedly incites violence. Former President Donald Trump was permanently banned from the platform for claiming that the 2020 presidential election was illegitimate, which Twitter said posed a risk of "further incitement of violence" after the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

But claims that crisis pregnancy centers are "fake clinics" that harm women, which arguably incite crimes against those groups, abound on Twitter.

Twitter suspends Dave Rubin after he shows support for Dr. Jordan Peterson, also suspended



BlazeTV host Dave Rubin was suspended from Twitter on Tuesday after he complained about Dr. Jordan Peterson's suspension for a tweet about transgender actor Elliot Page, formerly known as Ellen Page.

In an Instagram post, Rubin revealed that he had been placed in Twitter jail "for posting a screenshot of Jordan Peterson's tweet which got he himself suspended."

"While it is unclear how I broke their terms of service, it is clear that they are breaking their fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders by letting a bunch of Woke activists run the company," Rubin wrote.

"I hope Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter goes through so he can blow up their servers and humanity can move past this pervasive, twisted, self-imposed mental institution," he added.

Last week, Peterson was suspended from Twitter for a June 22 tweet sharing an article about Page's character in the Netflix Show "Umbrella Academy" coming out as transgender. The article was titled, "Elliot Page is 'proud' to introduce trans character on 'Umbrella Academy.'"

Peterson shared the article with his 2.8 million followers and wrote, "Remember when pride was a sin?"

"And Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal person," Peterson tweeted.

Peterson's tweet was flagged for violating Twitter rules against hateful conduct — likely because he used the pronoun "her" and "deadnamed" Page by using the actor's former name, Ellen.

Twitter's hateful conduct policy has rules against "Repeated and/or non-consensual slurs, epithets, racist and sexist tropes, or other content that degrades someone."

"We prohibit targeting others with repeated slurs, tropes or other content that intends to dehumanize, degrade or reinforce negative or harmful stereotypes about a protected category. This includes targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals," the rules state.

Peterson was locked out of his account and will not be permitted to use it again until he deletes the offending tweet.

Rubin spoke out against Peterson's suspension, sharing a screenshot of Peterson's offending tweet and writing, "The insanity continues at Twitter. @jordanbpeterson has been suspended for this tweet about Ellen Page. He just told me he will 'never' delete the tweet. Paging @elonmusk."

But this tweet got Rubin suspended too. He referred to Page by the name "Ellen," which violates Twitter rules against deadnaming.

In his Instagram post, Rubin invited his fans to join him at rubinreport.locals.com, a website he created for people to engage with his content without fear of big tech censorship.

Rubin is the third Blaze Media personality in the last month to be targeted by Twitter's content moderators for sharing opinions that violate the company's rules against wrongthink.

On June 13, BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey was locked out of her Twitter account for criticizing a Fox News segment about "a girl whose parents 'transitioned' her into a boy when she was 5 because she apparently told them she was a boy 'before [she] could talk.'" Stuckey said the segment was "maddening & heartbreaking."

And last week, Blaze podcast host Daniel Horowitz was permanently banned from Twitter for violating the platform's rules against "spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19."

Twitter suspends Allie Beth Stuckey for referring to transgender athlete Laurel Hubbard as 'a man'



BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey was suspended from Twitter on Thursday for violating the social media website's rules by referring to transgender New Zealand Olympic athlete Laurel Hubbard by his biological sex.

The podcast host shared a screenshot of an email she received from Twitter on Instagram, writing that she was suspended for 12 hours "for saying Laurel Hubbard is a man" in a tweet.

"What's that Orwell quote? Something about the further people get from the truth the more people will hate those who say it," wrote Stuckey.

The email Stuckey received said her tweet violated Twitter Rules against hateful conduct.

"You man not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, natural origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease," the email reads.

The offending tweet said: "Laura [sic] Hubbard failing at the event doesn't make his inclusion fair. He's still a man, and men shouldn't compete against women in weightlifting."

Hubbard, a biological male who identifies as female, was cleared to compete against women weightlifters at the Tokyo Olympics and then exited early from competition after failing to finish the snatch portion of the women's +87kg competition on Monday.

Stuckey told TheBlaze that she doesn't believe her tweet constitutes violence, a threat, nor harassment.

"I of course don't think stating biological facts promotes violence! I don't hate Laurel or anyone who identifies as transgender, but I also don't believe in affirming that which is objectively untrue," said Stuckey.

"I believe in the fairness and safety and rights of girls and women. That means recognizing sex differences. No amount of self-declarations can change that. Sex matters. Biology matters. Facts matter."

According to Twitter, the platform's mission is "to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information, and to express their opinions and beliefs without barriers."

"Free expression is a human right – we believe that everyone has a voice, and the right to use it," the company says in the explanation of its rules against "hateful conduct."

"We recognize that if people experience abuse on Twitter, it can jeopardize their ability to express themselves," Twitter adds.

Twitter rules prohibit "targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals" — that is, referring to a transgender person by the pronouns associated with their sex assigned at birth or by their birth name.

When Twitter determines a tweet violates its rules, the violator must remove it before they can tweet again.

Twitter suspended Steven Crowder and appeared to keep resetting the ban-clock



"Louder with Crowder" host Steven Crowder was suspended again on Twitter and has not been given a reason for the suspension.

On Thursday, Steven and his lawyer, Bill Richmond, discussed Steven's most recent suspension from Twitter's platform. According to Bill, over the last three weeks, Steven received three separate email notifications informing him about the suspensions but was never enlightened as to which post violated Twitter's policy.

Bill said that Twitter has found a way to actively and instantly determine whether or not a post is violating laws in 25 countries, but yet, they cannot figure out a way to let an American citizen working for an American company know which post triggered the violation?

"These Big Tech companies have created and developed for themselves that they are unable to actually exercise it in good faith," Bill said.

In addition to being given no explanation for the ban, Twitter appeared to be consistently resetting the ban-clock.
