    Twitter says this anti-Semitic post demonizing the Jewish people does not violate @Twitter rules. @ADL @elonmusk @TwitterSupport @JGreenblattADL https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

    “It's certainly very jarring. It's very sad to see this thing that so many of us cared for and built being decimated piece by piece,” @ruchowdh told The Post. “It's very hard to see where it's headed and how bad it's becoming.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

    “Musk plays a role not just by loosening speech policies and slashing moderation staffing but through personal choices in his interactions, researchers say.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
  • @gwensnyderphl @gwensnyderphl on x
    “Blindviking” has the Nazi version of the Othala rune as their avi. Their posts are all antisemitic Nazi propaganda & spam posts to other accounts linking a Nazi Telegram channel with a Nazi totenkopf skull in its logo. According to @elonmusk's Twitter, this is not hate speech. h…

    ⁦@TwitterSupport⁩ ⁦@Twitter⁩ Holocaust denial is facilitated on your platform. As is racist, antisemitic abuse of Jews. This reported to ⁦@CST_UK⁩ ⁦@MetCC⁩ and ⁦@antisemitism⁩ It is unacceptable. Shame on you! #twitter #antisemitism #abuse https://twitter.com/...

    Tweets with variations on the word “groomer,” which previously had been classed as hate a term, rose just after shootings and intimidation, researchers found, normalizing violence against victims. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

    As I understand it, the new Twitter policy is that this doesn't have a blue tick and isn't doing anything against US law (though it may well against the law in other countries Twitter operates in), so it's entirely OK. That seems... inadequate. https://twitter.com/...

    For the record, it should be clear that the “simping” this guy thinks people are doing is calling out antisemitic tropes. There is no other massive defense of Soros that exists. Pretty clear he's send a clear message to his followers that he's on board with their antisemitism. ht…

    Just mention the name Nick Fuentes, and like magic, all of his Antisemitic fanboys appear on Twitter. https://twitter.com/...

    In over a decade of research tracking hate speech on social media, I can confirm beyond any doubt that the two most persecuted and targeted groups on social media are LGBTQ and Jews https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

    @Jokerstars_CEO ... My tweet wasn't about censorship. But, since you brought up, here's one account that just commented. I think the vast majority of people on Twitter would prefer to be on a platform without such racist, sexist, and antisemitic postings. https://twitter.com/...

    @elonmusk @CommunityNotes Why is this #antisemitic account still active on #Twitter? I reported. Twitter said it does not violate policies. Why would any company want to advertise on Twitter? #branding https://twitter.com/...
  • @stevesilberman Steve Silberman on x
    By pandering to Nazis, fascists, white supremacists, anti-Semites, and #LGBTQ-bashing thugs while posing as a centrist, Twitter's new owner has turned the formerly diverse community into an engine of harassment and violence. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

    “Pre-Musk, Twitter had classed the word “groomer” as hate speech.” The #hate is real and it can be dangerous. We must stand up to it. #lovewins #antisemitism #homophobia #transphobia https://twitter.com/...

    Important findings, underscoring that hate speech has real life impact, and plays leading factor in inciting violence and Jew hatred. @AvivaKlompas https://twitter.com/...

    I'm quoted in today's @washingtonpost on how hate speech circulating on @Twitter is influencing Jew-hatred in the United States. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
  • @avimayer Avi Mayer on x
    We said it, we knew it, and now we have the data: online hate drives real-life hate crimes. Thank you, @AvivaKlompas and @RachelFish613, for working with @NCRI_IO to demonstrate that what some casually dismiss as mere rhetoric has very real consequences. https://www.washingtonpos…
