Ken Paxton posted a few accurate statements on Twitter about transgender people — and the website censored him for it.

Between March 17 and March 18, the Republican Texas attorney general posted three tweets that were deemed to have violated Twitter’s hateful conduct policy. Twitter kept the tweets up, saying: “This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about hateful conduct. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.” One cannot reply to the tweets, like the tweets, view the tweets without seeing the disclaimer first, retweet the tweets (except for quote tweets), or use the website’s share function to send the tweets elsewhere.
