“Big Tech titans are the new emperors of the twenty-first century, wielding an inordinate amount of power by silencing individuals and organizations that don’t comport or cave to their political or social point of view.”
The Daily Citizen, a news site associated with the Christian organization Focus on the Family, had their Twitter account suspended last week after tweeting that Dr. Rachel Levine, the Biden administration's Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services and the first transgender person to achieve such a position in the US government, is a biological male.

"As I've noted before, Big Tech titans are the new emperors of the twenty-first century, wielding an inordinate amount of power by silencing individuals and organizations that don’t comport or cave to their political or social point of view," wrote Focus on the Family President Jim Daly in a blog post.
"In recent weeks, high-profile, outspoken individuals have been banned from social media, including former President Donald Trump and Mike Lindell, CEO and founder of My Pillow," he continued. "You can now add Focus on the Family’s The Daily Citizen to the list."
Daly noted that they contacted Twitter concerning the account's suspension, asking how they would prefer the organization refer to Dr. Levine. According to Daly, they have not yet received a response.
The organization did not indicate whether the suspension was permanent.
