This was never true, and you could have easily checked before posting this. People who are really concerned about misinformation seem to spread it around casually about their enemies.
- ziddoap 2y agoIt's marked as a slur and falls under their hateful conduct policy. >Elon Musk has deemed the words “cis” and “cisgender” slurs on Twitter and warned that anyone who harasses others on Twitter will receive at least temporary suspension. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser/2023/07/02/elon-musk-deems-cis-a-twitter-slurheres-why-its-is-so-polarizing/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser/2023/07/02/elon-mus... https://www.fastcompany.com/91126082/elon-musk-x-cisgender-cis-slur https://www.fastcompany.com/91126082/elon-musk-x-cisgender-c... https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/x-cisgender-slur-cis-elon-musk-b2545355.html https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/x-cisgender-slur-cis-elon...
- andsoitis 2y ago> and warned that anyone who harasses others on Twitter will receive at least temporary suspension. That is quite different from claiming that if you say “cisgender” you get banned…
- ziddoap 2y agoI didn't say that you get banned. Just clarifying the truth of the matter is between what the two posters above me said.
- MSFT_Edging 2y agoWhile not banned, any tweet with "cis" was labeled as harmful content and immediately hidden. Some people did receive bans iirc. You could type "cis" under actual violent white supremacist posts and your comment would be labeled harmful. Twitter is not a bastion if free speech. It's a Nazi bar where a certain type ideologically violent free speech is encouraged.
