I think the answer will be in whom* Twitter have consulted on protected status ie: dropping ‘sex’ as classification. As with the interpretations of ‘hate crime’ from police forces, there has been a concerted effort to minimise sex protections in favour of gender. *Stonewall?
@joannaccherry asks @twitter why *sex* is not covered in their hateful conduct policy, why women get suspended for quoting the law and why threats of violence are allowed to stand. Not many answers though https://parliamentlive.tv/event/index/0364bfc3-5adc-4aef-99bd-48c68daacc38?in=15:27:30&out=15:50:30 …

Well its an international policy, set in the US, so it may not have been UK orgs. The Twitter rep said "we use UN definitions", but I am sure the UN still recognises sex.

If you are called to appear before a parliamentary committee, surely you should be better prepared than having to answer 90% of the questions "I'll have to write to you on that"? Will we see the written answers?

Shame others did not follow up and really hit it home cos they know perfectly well what they do and rather got away with it. I loved when they were asked about money the look of panic in the Twitter rep's eyes! ;) Did you see my post of screenshots to parl today? Hilarious!
