GDPR and lost "likes" on JKR's Twitter posts

196 replies

As most of us are aware, Twitter covertly removes "likes" from posts the moderators dislike but can't ban because they're well within the rules.

I'm not an expert in GDPR law, but since I own my Twitter account (or rather the information posted), is there scope for me/other GC feminists to demand that Twitter release data on likes removed and explain why?

I'll seek legal advice before acting (which I can afford - this isn't a plea for crowdfunding!) but am wondering whether anyone has tried this tactic previously?

I don't need to see Katie Montgomerie's perception of anything.
Can you point to anything that JKR has written directly that is Transphobic?

Katie Montgomery. Fucking hell!

Of course they do.
What a silly statement.

"Pseudoscience"

Bowers says it's real.

Funny thing about truth: like the Genie, it can’t be shoved back into the bottle.

On Monday, I published probably the most important piece of my career thus farar_: an interview I did with two top gender medical providers – vaginoplasty expert and gender surgeon Dr. Marci Bowers and child psychologist at the UCSF gender clinic, Dr. Erica Anderson, who spoke candidly about risks of current treatment protocols guiding transgender medicine.*

For the first time in the U.S., top gender medical providers collectively acknowledged four facts: early puberty blockade can lead to significant surgical complication and also permanent sexual dysfunction; peer and social media influence do seem to play a role in encouraging the current, unprecedented spike in transgender identification by teen girls; and the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH) – of which both Bowers and Anderson are board members – has been excluding doctors who question current medical protocols to its detriment.

Your 5 minute reminder NOT to clock in links mners
Mind me asking why not? I'm hoping there's a good conspiracy theory, but something valid would be also interesting.

Links to spam or to "reset your paypal password" may well be dodgy, but otherwise as an IT pro and IT security bod I wouldn't be worried about clicking on links from you. Why should I?

@DialSquare

Why is she? She's not transphobic.
What she said is, for me primarily spreading the pseudoscience of "ROGD", used as justification to abuse trans kids. Years after the Litmann paper there's still not one trans kid "diagnosed" or studied as exhibiting this made up syndrome. But a nice simple explainer here - katymontgomerie.medium.com/why-what-jk-rowling-said-is-transphobic-42081477afa1

@DialSquare

Is JKR on the transphobeB list?
Easy to check, and yes it looks like she is - www.theblockbot.com/show-blocks/XpbppP2pPG8FFhbeApYs5hxPegJbrz37qRzZoW2O?screen_name=jk_rowling

@Theeyeballsinthesky

Oh wow a Twitter account with whole 257 followers, truly their reach must be extensive or you know not

(Can we keep this thread please it’s great Grin)

Weird how so many fellow "TRAs" were all blocked by the usual "Gender Critical" accounts at the time. Accounts that didn't follow "Cult Blocker Pro"

Must be coincidence and not that the "GC" people didn't want to look silly (Sorry, more silly than usual) by claiming to be "silenced" by blocking lists, while using one? Anyway I was proudly blocked by it, as were all my friends on Twitter. We made a big mistake of not pretending we were "silenced" by a blocklist in articles in the Telegraph, the Times, the Sun, the Guardian, etc, etc ... Wink

Just a reminder MN women - be very wary of clicking on links.

WarriorN · 18/01/2022 18:47

It certainly belongs in FWR classics.

Full bingo card including right wing smears.

@MargaritaPie

I understand if a Twitter account is suspended, any likes made by the account will be removed and no longer count.

Never been suspended.

WarriorN · 18/01/2022 18:41

This really is a masterclass in propaganda, I have to thank you for that.

Oh my life I'm in stitches!

Who mentioned the irony meter upthread?!

ool0n · 18/01/2022 18:37

@Helleofabore might want to check out the plank in thine eye, "Gender Critical" people ran the largest blocklist on Twitter for quite some time. The "Cult Blocker Pro", with over 20k "TRAs" blocked. Oh my! I don't need to invent bizarre associations from that to pedos, as I don't think blocking people on Twitter is quite so scary.

SimonedeBeauvoirscat · 18/01/2022 18:36

Oh that makes it so much better. Thanks Flowers

ool0n · 18/01/2022 18:35

You're not understanding much @SimonedeBeauvoirscat then, as I run the server that hosts the current @TransphobeB list and did for a little while host @Terfblocker before the twitter account was suspended. Other people compile(d) and run(ran) those lists.

What do you expect the moderators to do? Assuming the people who actually created the lists were on here - International criminals as they so clearly are Shock

Helleofabore · 18/01/2022 18:33

SimonedeBeauvoirscat

But apparently we are an echo chamber and no one with different opinions can post here……

SimonedeBeauvoirscat · 18/01/2022 18:27

So just to be clear, for me the main takeaway from this thread is that the person who created Terfblocker is posting here on MN’s feminism forums? Unchallenged by moderators? Yeah, this place has changed. What the actual fuck.
