A man does not have a uterus or ovules.\"<\/em><\/strong> Twitter has considered that the mere affirmation of this biological fact is \"incitement to hatred\", for which it has imposed a 12-hour block on Contreras on his account, as the deputy himself has denounced on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/franciscojose.contreras.1\/posts\/1984837761673210\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his Facebook account<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51173394340_87dcdd7efa_b.jpg\" style=\"width:661px; height:auto; border:2px solid #252525; margin:10px 0 10px 0;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>\"It is seen that this is already fascist biology.

Last February, at the gates of regional elections in Catalonia, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2021\/01\/28\/nueva-interferencia-electoral-twitter-bloquea-a-vox-justo-antes-de-las-elecciones-catalanas\/\">Twitter censored the Vox account<\/a> in a new interference by the American company in an electoral process in another country. Twitter's excuse in that case was that <strong>stating statistics showing the high percentage of criminal complaints against Maghrebis was also \"incitement to hatred.\"<\/strong> Apparently, Twitter believes that statistics, like biology, should be censored if at any time they contradict the ideological dogmas of progressivism.<\/p>\n<p><big>That social network has allowed serious threats against Vox<\/big><\/p>\n<p>However, in the days following that case of censorship for ideological reasons, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2021\/02\/01\/tras-bloquear-a-vox-twitter-tolera-mensajes-instigando-a-partirle-la-crisma-a-abascal\/\">Twitter tolerated messages from left-wing extremists who threatened to attack the president of Vox, Santiago Abascal<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2021\/02\/08\/twitter-tolera-mensajes-incitando-sin-rodeos-a-agredir-y-matar-a-los-miembros-de-vox\/\">and also messages threatening to attack and kill other members of that party<\/a>. Apparently, for Twitter to affirm biological or statistical facts is \"incitement to hatred\", but it is not threatening to kill members of a conservative party.<\/p>\n<p><big>Poland and Hungary are preparing to stop this ideological censorship on social networks<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Twitter's efforts to violate the right to freedom of expression to impose the ideological theses of the left has already provoked the rejection of some governments. In December, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2020\/12\/21\/a-polish-law-will-combat-ideological-censorship-on-social-networks-this-is-how-it-will-work\/\">Poland announced a law to criminalize ideological censorship on social networks<\/a>, noting that <em>\"social networking sites may not, at their discretion, delete entries or block user accounts, provided that the content posted on them does not violate Polish law.\"<\/em> In January, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2021\/01\/26\/hungria-secunda-a-polonia-y-prepara-una-ley-contra-la-censura-politica-en-redes-sociales\/\">Hungary also announced a Polish-like law in defense of freedom of expression on social media<\/a>, expressly criticizing the censorship of Twitter and Facebook against \"Christian, conservative and right-wing\" views. And now, too, against the mere assertion of biological facts.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/revistacentinela.es\/francisco-jose-contreras-europa-merece-sobrevivir\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow\">Centinela magazine<\/a>.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The intolerance of progressivism towards the truth is reaching purely grotesque extremes, as seen today on Twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19536,10395],"tags":[11462,7535],"class_list":["post-44364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-we-said-yesterday","category-social-media","tag-spain","tag-vox"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44364"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44364\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
