A barrister who campaigns on rights issues had her @CrowdJustice page - in which she is seeking funds to challenge @stonewalluk for discrimination - taken down for "encouraging discrimination."
When I talk about the dangers of companies censoring legal expression without transparency or oversight, this is what I am talking about. @BluskyeAllison is being denied her right to seek justice and bullied into silence because of a panicked reaction by an unthinking corporation
I am really sick and tired of seeing free speech and human rights campaigners decry the abuse and misogyny women receive on social media platforms while turning a blind eye when that that abuse is in the name of defending another group's rights.
People are being hounded out of jobs, losing freelance opportunities in the arts, bullied into silence in workplaces over a topic that the UK government itself madea matter for public discussion. We need to be able to discuss sex and gender in public and we have a right to do so.
This is what's happening. https://twitter.com/AlessandraAster/status/1278445250789416961?s=20
I campaign for everyone's right to speak freely. I have defended those with whom I agree and those whose views I abhor. What I see over and over again is that the voices that are most censored, most censured, most talked over and which receive the most abuse - are those of women.
I know of at least two people at human rights organisations who have been made to feel they can't speak openly on these issues. If we can't have those discussions in our own organisations, where even a like or a retweet is taken as evidence of wrongthink, where can we have them?
