"... about the hospital’s gender-affirming care practices. In a statement, the Children’s Hospital told Teen Vogue they have 'been the target of a large volume of hostile internet activity, phone calls, and harassing emails including threats of violence toward our clinicians and staff.' In one tweet, Libs of TikTok called for the hospital to be shut down and in another, they claimed the hospital was providing hysterectomies to 'young girls' though PolitiFact deemed that claim false. 'To qualify for a gender-affirming hysterectomy at Boston Children's Hospital, patients must be 18 or older and must have a letter from a medical doctor stating they have "persistent, well-documented, gender dysphoria," PolitiFact explained.['] But the viral tweet continues to make rounds online and feed into a growing moral-panic about gender-affirming healthcare stoked by right-wing personalities and politicians.... Social and legal affirmation, according to the [American Academy of Pediatrics], like haircuts and name and pronoun changes, can happen at any age, while treatments like puberty blockers typically start at the onset of puberty and certain affirming surgery, while sometimes performed on teens, typically takes place in adulthood."Libs of TikTok was, by its own report, suspended from Twitter and told it was a final decision, but now — as you can see at that link — it is back. It seemed to be about its tweeting videos that the Boston Children's Hospital put out to promote its own program. Does Twitter think it's hate speech to repeat someone else's speech, giving it higher profile and opening it up for debate among a larger and more diverse group?
It looks like Twitter is confused about that question, even though that's a major function of Twitter — repeating speech and sending it out to a bigger, more diverse set of people. Within that model, Twitter should be viewpoint neutral, but they don't want direct threats to individuals. In the case of Libs of TikTok, there was no threat, only passing along the hospital's speech, which was controversial — so controversial that it made other people generate "a large volume of hostile internet activity, phone calls, and harassing emails including threats of violence."
But I see Libs of TikTok — just 4 hours ago — passed along video labeled "Yale Pediatric Gender Program director says she treats kids as young as THREE on their 'gender journey' including medical intervention." So it seems they are back in action, inviting everyone to absorb the message and think for themselves. There's nothing in the text of the tweet that can be characterized as misinformation (unless you're going to expand that term to include encouraging people to think their own thoughts instead of passively receiving the speech the way the speaker hoped you would receive it). Maybe that's what was different about the Boston Children's Hospital tweet — it may have contained a factual misstatement about the treatment.
And here's something Libs of TikTok retweeted 10 hours ago — Joe Rogan talking with Seth Dillon (of the Babylon Bee) about the censorship of Libs of TikTok:
Rogan is right that it’s possible to cherry-pick videos to try and misrepresent a group. But you can’t argue that Libs of TikTok has misrepresented anyone when the Left consistently and aggressively defends the behavior she’s highlighted. https://t.co/jeK2E2dica
