Dear Friend,
Under Elon Musk, Twitter/X has given a general amnesty to hate and
disinformation spreaders, including antisemites, neo-Nazis and white
supremacists.
CCDH’s latest research
[[link removed]] reveals that, even when notified, Twitter/X continues to host tweets promoting
and glorifying antisemitism, anti-Black racism, neo-Nazism, white supremacy and
other racism.
1 week after reporting this vile hate using Twitter/X own tools, 259 of the 300
posts were still up on the platform. We believe every single post broke the platforms T&Cs and should have
beenshould have been taken down.
Elon Musk is currently suing us to try and silence our research exposing
Twitter/X abject failure enforcing their own community standards.
We will not be silenced. Share our findings now.

[[link removed]]
* We reported 300 posts from 100 accounts. A week later, 259 of these posts
were still up on the platform and 90 accounts remained active.
* We identified 38 ads from big brands next to extreme hate speech. Disney had
their ads shown next to racist posts at least twice – despite X CEO Linda
Yaccarino's claims of advanced brand safety and content moderation tools.
* Examples of posts which have yet to be actioned include:
* Posts denying the Holocaust , or mocking victims of the Holocaust
* Posts glorifying the Nazis , including one describing Hitler as “a hero who will help secure a future for white children!”
* Memes accusing Black people of being harmful to “A quiet, peaceful, functioning society”
* Posts claiming “Blacks don’t need provoking before becoming violent. It’s in their nature.”
* Posts condemning interracial relationships – specifically, encouraging others
to “Stop Race mixing” and “break up with your non-white gf today”
These posts clearly violate Twitter/X’s T&Cs. Their failure to act is
unacceptable.
Our expose of antisemitism on the platform comes a week after Elon Musk
threatened to file a defamation lawsuit against the ADL (Anti-Defamation
League)... for saying there is antisemitism on the platform.
Just the other day, Elon Musk said he was “super clear” he was in favor of free
speech “but against antisemitism of any kind”
[[link removed]] . Well Elon, looks like it's time for you to act on the antisemitism we found.
Platforms and their owners must be held accountable for enabling the spread of
hate and misinformation.
Friend, do you agree Elon Musk must enforce his own rules
and deal with vile hate on his platform? If so, share our research and demand
action.
Thank you for your continued support in our fight against online hate.
