NextImg:Twitter Community Notes exposes story behind video of trans beating

Twitter's Community Notes function is being praised after providing context to a viral video showing a transgender woman being restrained and struck by police.

Rula Jebreal, who identifies herself on Twitter as a visiting professor at the University of Miami, shared a video Wednesday showing Italian authorities detaining and striking an individual in Milan.

Sirens blare in the footage while police can be seen kicking and striking the individual with batons. Many on the Left condemned the action as a transphobic attack.


"3 Italian police brutally assaulted, pepper sprayed and kicked an unarmed trans-woman in Milan," Jebreal tweeted. "Criminalizing & inciting violence against “transgenderism” has lethal consequences … the so called “gender ideology” is used to justify Gov’t discrimination."

Twitter's Community Notes function quickly added context to the video, which has amassed nearly 14 million views.

"This incident took place in Milan, Italy on May 24," Community Notes shared on the post. "The transgender individual being subdued by police had been reported after exposing his penis to school children and threatening to infect people with HIV. He then violently attempted to evade arrest."

Multiple articles were shared by the Community Notes function to corroborate the story.

"Community Notes aim to create a better informed world by empowering people on Twitter to collaboratively add context to potentially misleading Tweets," according to Twitter.

The feature's exposing of the true story behind the video was praised across the platform.

"More propaganda foiled by Community Notes!" one account tweeted.


"I watched this and was saddened and was about to comment on the egregious injustice that this trans woman had faced. Then, I read the community notes. And now, I don’t feel bad for them at all," another user commented.

"Thank god — I mean, Elon — FOR COMMUNITY NOTES," said another user.


"Why would you mislead the public in such a disgraceful manner?" another user tweeted at Jebreal.
