Renowned biologist Richard Dawkins has had his Facebook account deleted, reportedly due to a post he made expressing his opinion that genetically male boxers, such as Imane Khalif, should not compete in women's sports at the Olympics. Dawkins, known for his outspoken views on science and religion, shared that no specific reason was provided for the account deletion. The incident has sparked a debate over free speech and censorship on social media platforms, with critics arguing that the action reflects a growing trend of suppressing dissenting opinions.
