Twitter shut down the account of the U.S.-based Christian Post for accurately describing President Joe Biden’s transgender assistant health secretary, Rachel Levine, as a man — and the social media giant cited a foreign law to justify its actions. The evangelical Christian outlet told its readers on Monday that its Twitter account had been “temporarily limited” because of a tweet about Levine, a man who identifies as female. The Christian Post said it was told by Twitter it no longer would be able to post anything new and could not like or follow other users or retweet posts. The outlet was further informed that it would be suspended from Twitter for 12 hours. The “offensive” tweet was the Christian Post’s March 15 message that read, “USA Today names Rachel Levine, a man, among its ‘Women of the Year.'” As of Wednesday afternoon, the tweet was replaced by a message that reads, “This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules. Learn more.” The outlet said it was told it had been “flagged for possible violations of Twitter’s hateful conduct policy.” This policy, Twitter said, is based on France’s Law for Confidence in the Digital Economy.

The social media giant went on to inform the outlet that if it didn’t like the punishment, it could take its case before a French court.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. 
The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
