A planned Washington, D.C., protest Saturday titled "Trans Day of Vengeance" has had Twitter censoring more than 5,000 tweets and retweets for the incitement of violence.
"We do not support tweets that incite violence irrespective of who posts them," Ella Irwin, Twitter's head of Trust and Safety, tweeted Tuesday. "'Vengeance' does not imply peaceful protest. Organizing or support for peaceful protests is OK."
Twitter used an automated process to remove the tweets in a large swath, which had angered some conservatives like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who had her account temporarily restricted.
The automated process was used to squash the incitement to violence on the platform, so even those denouncing the event were censored.
