Men Can’t Get Pregnant Tweet Suspended

Deputy of Spain’s Vox Party Francisco José Contreras

“Twitter has suspended a Spanish politician’s account after he tweeted a man cannot get pregnant. Deputy of Spain’s Vox Party Francisco José Contreras was locked out of his Twitter account for 12 hours, with the social media platform informing him he had violated its policies on ‘hate speech.’ His comments were shared with an article about a transgender male who announced they were a father after giving birth to a baby girl. The politician took to Facebook to explain to his followers why his account had suddenly disappeared on the platform. In a Facebook post on May 11 he said he had received a message from Twitter which said he had violated its policies on hate speech. He said, ‘You can see this is already fascist biology. Next time I’ll try 2 + 2 = 4.’ A spokesperson for Twitter has declined to comment on the suspension.”
