A physicist at the University of Plymouth, Mike McCulloch, has tweeted that he has been reported to his university's equalities committee for his twitter thread:
twitter.com/memcculloch/status/1275399702314455042
If you scroll through his tweets, it's mostly innocuous (and to this lay person largely impenetrable) stuff about physics and dark matter, with the occasional retweet about the importance of free speech.
He says: "Someone anonymous sent a list of all the tweets I have liked to the Equality Team!"
So it's not even stuff he's tweeted himself, or retweeted. Someone has actually been keeping an eye on the tweets he "liked" and decided to report him.
What madness is this? When are other academics going to stand up and be counted?
I'm sick of the cowardice from people who should be defending the freedom of others to express opinions.
