Daily Wire Fan Says Letterboxd Deleted His Praise For ‘Infidels,’ Then Suspended Him

A fan of The Daily Wire's film 'Run Hide Fight: Infidels' claims that Letterboxd removed their positive review and suspended their account for two days, despite other profane reviews of the film remaining visible. The reviewer stated they received hostile messages after posting the review, and a moderator later removed it. They reposted the review with a disclaimer, but it was removed again, leading to a two-day suspension. The notice cited 'offensive and abusive language' in one or more reviews, though the specific review triggering the action was not identified. The reviewer noted their review contained no profanity and praised the film's depiction of Islamic terrorism. The incident highlights potential issues with content moderation and automated suspensions on Letterboxd, which relies heavily on user reports. The Daily Wire reached out to Letterboxd for clarification but had not received a response. The film, directed by Kyle Rankin and starring Jonathan Majors, is a sequel to the 2021 film and deals with themes related to Islamic terrorism and campus activism.
