Following pressure from journalists, Twitter has followed Reddit and has started censoring the word “groomer,” suggesting that it is an anti-LGBT slur.
Cultural and political commentator James Lindsay was locked out of Twitter after calling Ari Drennen, who works at left-wing pressure group Media Matters, a groomer.
Drennen criticized an article by the Daily Caller about the campaign to get Twitter to censor the term “groomer.” Responding to Drennen’s tweet, Lindsay wrote: “Ok, groomer.”
