      At my tribunal the Judge welcomed live tweeting as a means of #openjustice . It was brilliantly done by @wwwritingclub. Someone didn't like something she reported and complained to @Twitter. Her account was suspended for 12 hrs. She wasn't able to live tweet from #FairCopJRhttps://twitter.com/wwwritingclub/status/1197426894087577600 …

      wildwomanwritingclub @wwwritingclub
      My Twitter account was suspended yesterday for what most would view as “utterance[...] intended to convey, & be heard as, simple descriptions of observable facts.” Hence no live-tweeting from Fair Cop’s Judicial Review. What a read the hashtag was, though 👀👇🏻 https://twitter.com/Docstockk/status/1197131002134646786 …

      Someone also did not like that the women of Mumsnet were talking openly about the case and the individuals involved. They received ominous warnings about "reporting restrictions" and decided to take all the names out if the posts to be on the safe side https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3747575-maya-forstater-case-thread-2-for-the-mumsnet-massive …

      After clarification that there were no reporting restrictions they have promised to replace all the names.

      All of this is chilling. But most chilling of all are the internalised "reporting restrictions". The number of people who have sent me private messages of support, emails saying they did not see anything offensive in my writing compared to those willing & able to say it publicly

          And the studious disinterest by the research and advocacy community (#development, #opengovernment, #humanrights #genderequality etc ..) that this case with significant ramifications is going on.

          You can have #openjustice rules and #opendata, but still tyrants will close down freedom of speech and thought necessary for democratic debate by making it just too costly for individuals to say what they think, or say anything at all.https://medium.com/@MForstater/feminist-open-government-2f1b101c235d …

          So @ObjectUK tells me their account also got a @twitter suspension for a tweet from my tribunal. Probably for "deadnaming" this witness. Who still maintains a professional profile in their given name. https://www.qmul.ac.uk/busman/staff/phd/profiles/david-quentin.html …

          Yes, your case has overlap with Harry the Owl's current court case (see @WeAreFairCop). When institutions and organisations buy into shutting down perfectly legal, fact based views it has a chilling effect on freedom of expression.Good for you and him taking this on @MForstater

          The same when my Doula UK story broke. I was inundated with messages all agreeing/thanking me and many from DUK doulas who are too afraid to comment in public for fear of losing membership/being labeled hateful.

          1/x I am chilled. In a bad way. Stoat tweeting, not my regular a/c with my LinkedIn name nor my side business a/c. Why? Because OH, my partner in the side business (airbnb currently our main income) was worried it might get us thrown off platform.

          2/x Because I am a 1950s woman who is job hunting. My previous business was badly impacted by Brexit uncertainties. I am now 60-something and job hunting. Government, thirdsector & big business - are all stonewalled.
