Twitter Removes Transgender Protections and Policies.

Twitter has removed specific protections for transgender people from its hateful conduct policy, including the prohibition of targeted misgendering or deadnaming. The platform also removed a line detailing certain groups often subject to disproportionate abuse online, including LGBTQ individuals. The change to the policy is one of several updates Twitter has made to its safety and content moderation practices since Elon Musk took over the company last fall. LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD called out the policy change, stating that it makes Twitter even more unsafe for users and advertisers alike.

Twitter to Label "Hateful" Tweets When Restricted.

Twitter is introducing new labels that will appear on tweets that violate its Hateful Conduct policy and are restricted by the company. The labels will make it clear that the tweets have been limited and won't affect a user's account. Twitter plans to expand the labels to other policy areas and allow users to appeal its decisions in the future. The move is part of Twitter's broader direction to take less severe actions against accounts that break its rules.
