@MattWalshShow
Well, it didn't happen exactly how I expected but I'd say we successfully coopted the first day of Pride Month
@MattWalshShow
Our film has been posted for a couple of hours. You cannot retweet it. It will not appear in anyone’s feed. It has been flagged as hate speech. It has been blacklisted from the trends list. It still has nearly 900 thousand views.
@MattWalshShow
Is “misgendering” against the rules or not? You bought the company and reinstated the Babylon Bee after a “misgendering” violation. Now you’re telling us that our film will be suppressed on those same grounds. This makes no sense.
@ elonmusk: @ robbystarbuck @ realDailyWire @ MattWalshBlog @ Twitter @ JeremyDBoreing We’re updating the system tomorrow so that those who follow @ realDailyWire will see this in their feed, but it won’t be recommended to non-followers (nor will any advertising be associated with it)
@MattWalshShow
Twitter put the hate speech tag on my embed of the film. There is someone actively and manually suppressing the film at Twitter.
@MattWalshShow
What Is A Woman will be released for free to the public at 8 ET. We still don’t know for sure whether it will be marked as “hateful conduct” and censored by Twitter. Hashtags and trends related to the film still appear to be suppressed. When it releases, share it and tweet about…
@MattWalshShow
The trans activists know they can’t win in a fair fight. They suppress, censor and deplatform because they know their position is insane and can’t be defended. If open discussion on this topic was allowed, their side would be crushed into oblivion in less than a week.
@MattWalshShow
What Is A Woman streams tonight at 8 ET. Elon says that the decision to label the film hate speech was a “mistake by many people at Twitter.” But currently the clips from the film are still flagged and censored and all trends related to What Is A Woman are still being suppressed.
@MattWalshShow
I hope he does. But people also need to keep in mind that we didn’t go public with this right away. We tried to fix it behind the scenes. We’ve been in conversation with them. This was not some kind of fluke or glitch. It’s a very intentional decision by Twitter.
@ jonaswalkerlaw: @ MattWalshBlog @ elonmusk will fix this. We must be thankful, humble, and patient.
@MattWalshShow
For anyone who doubted: Twitter has now labeled a clip from our film hateful conduct and disabled retweets. The trans activists are still in charge. @ elonmusk needs to step in immediately.
@MattWalshShow
One of the many things that makes the suppression and censorship of "What Is A Woman" so ridiculous is that we simply provided a forum for both sides to make their case. The fact that the trans side utterly humiliates itself is their fault, not ours. We let them speak.
@MattWalshShow
You all of course understand that we have to make "What Is A Woman" the number one trend on the first day of Pride Month. We're so close
@MattWalshShow
Twitter wants us to censor the film if we're going to post it. We will not do that. It will still stream tonight, uncensored, at 8 ET no matter what. We'll find out if Twitter is truly a free speech platform or not. We are putting the ball back in their court.
@MattWalshShow
Read this thread. We are streaming “What Is A Woman” free on Twitter tonight. Twitter now tells us they will label the film hate speech and suppress it. This is in direct violation of the agreement they made and signed with us, and the free speech promises they made to all users.
@ JeremyDBoreing: Twitter canceled a deal with @ realdailywire to premiere What is a Woman? for free on the platform because of two instances of “misgendering.”
I’m not kidding.
Here's what happened:🧵1/16
@MattWalshShow
It's been a wild 24 hours. It began with Twitter labeling our film hate speech and completely suppressing it, and ends with all suppression lifted and Elon Musk himself tweeting out the film and urging people to watch it. A huge win.
@MattWalshShow
I try not to think about this. Our film has been banned from most platforms. Mainstream movie critics refused to even review it. It’s been blacklisted and suppressed and yet still reached a massive audience. But how many more could we have reached without the deck stacked…
@ tmmay2003: @ MattWalshBlog Imagine what views you would get without surpression
@MattWalshShow
Elon, have you seen the film? What is “sensitive” about it? There is content widely shared that shows up on feeds every single day that is far more outrageous and offensive than anything in the film. What specifically is the problem with the movie?
@ elonmusk: @ stillgray @ robbystarbuck @ realDailyWire @ MattWalshBlog @ Twitter @ JeremyDBoreing Commenting & deliberate sharing will be allowed. Sensitive content just won’t be pushed to people unless they ask for it or a friend sends it to them.
@MattWalshShow
Elon, the film is being actively suppressed by people at Twitter right now as we speak. Why? And why would it take until tomorrow to take the hate speech tag off? And what does it mean that “advertisers won’t be associated with it”? Also, will it be shareable?
@ elonmusk: @ robbystarbuck @ realDailyWire @ MattWalshBlog @ Twitter @ JeremyDBoreing We’re updating the system tomorrow so that those who follow @ realDailyWire will see this in their feed, but it won’t be recommended to non-followers (nor will any advertising be associated with it)
@MattWalshShow
I don’t understand what that means. We’re doing a Twitter Space in 15 minutes. Can you join and explain?
@ elonmusk: @ MattWalshBlog It will be advertising-restricted, as advertisers have the right to decide what content their ads appear with, which will impact reach to some degree
@MattWalshShow
Trans ideology would virtually disappear if the other side of the argument was allowed to speak openly and be heard without suppression or reprisal. The ideology hides behind a fortress of censorship because it is easily destroyed out in the open, and its proponents know that.
@MattWalshShow
We will see what happens tonight
@MattWalshShow
Thanks for the response @ elonmusk. Does this mean we can post the film with full reach and everything else we originally agreed to? Also, the What Is A Woman trend keeps disappearing from the trends list. Is it still black listed?
@ elonmusk: @ JeremyDBoreing @ realDailyWire This was a mistake by many people at Twitter. It is definitely allowed.
Whether or not you agree with using someone’s preferred pronouns, not doing so is at most rude and certainly breaks no laws.
I should note that I do personally use someone’s preferred pronouns, just as I…
@MattWalshShow
Twitter has decided that our film doesn’t contribute to a “healthy conversation.” The only healthy conversation about this subject is one where everyone agrees with trans activists. Is this what free speech means on this platform?
@MattWalshShow
Twitter has now chosen a side and declared that one side is not only wrong but shouldn't even be heard. This is of course the position of every Big Tech platform on this issue. We hoped Twitter would be different. Today it seems like we were wrong.
@MattWalshShow
“What Is A Woman” was trending #4 a moment ago and has now disappeared from the trending list completely. The old regime blacklisted the trend and removed it every time it came up. Is that still happening?
@MattWalshShow
This is one of the scenes from What Is A Woman that Twitter now says is hate speech.
We will still stream the movie here tonight in its entirety at 8 ET. Twitter has the next 12 hours to decide whether they want to be a true free speech platform or not.
@MattWalshShow
Read this thread. We are streaming “What Is A Woman” free for all on Twitter tonight. Despite signing an agreement with us, Twitter now says they will label the film hate speech and suppress it. This is a gross betrayal of the free speech promises they have made to their users.
@ JeremyDBoreing: Twitter canceled a deal with @ realdailywire to premiere What is a Woman? for free on the platform because of two instances of “misgendering.”
I’m not kidding.
Here's what happened:🧵1/16
@MattWalshShow
Yet more evidence that Americans know nothing about history. The public school system is actively making people dumber. Native tribes did not live in peace and harmony. They existed in a near constant state of warfare and brutalized each other in unspeakably horrific ways.
@ SkepResCenter: How much do you agree: "Prior to the arrival of the European settlers, Native American/ Indigenous tribes lived in peace and harmony."
Results by race.
About 75% of black respondents agreed to some extent compared to around 45% of white respondents.
