It was a propaganda platform long before that. Before Musk bought it you could get banned for saying that men can't get pregnant.
I doubt you have any proof of that happening...
Suspended not banned. Also, in context the tweet was saying that the trans man was not a man and that was against the policy at the time. The pregnancy was just a detail there.

surely you realize that this is entertainment outlet is not a news organization, nor does this entertainment outlet have any obligation to report anything on a factual, truthful or verifiable basis? and that this entertainment outlet is famously bigoted?
Yeah I mean, if the only reason you said that was to "piss off the libs" and hate on transgender men, you really shouldn't be shocked that a platform doesn't want that. Being unable to say hateful things without consequence on social media isn't the same as it being a propaganda machine.

Im saying this for ages and never joked.
Plenty of real situations happening like blocking certain people, stoping of fact checking, bot protection and detection etc.
There is a reason why Twitter needed more people before
