Hi John,
Last night Elon Musk made the dangerous decision to allow Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins back on X/Twitter. We have launched a new petition to demand Musk reverses that decision.
Tommy Robinson is a prominent far-right figure and founder of the English Defence League. And since getting his profile back has wasted no time in whipping up anti-Muslim hate on the site once again. And Katie Hopkins, who was banned in 2020 after years of anti-migrant hate, looks set to continue.
We’ve partnered with 38 Degrees to demand Musk reverses his decision to give them both a platform to spread hate and misinformation. Sign our petition today.
SIGN PETITION
Elon Musk is turning Twitter into a safe space for the far right by allowing Robinson and Hopkins to return. And this has real world impacts.
Blocking the far right’s social media limits their ability to spread the word about their events, fundraisers and hateful rhetoric. After Robinson’s ban from Twitter in 2018 and from Facebook and YouTube in 2019, hundreds of thousands of fewer people saw his content every month. Before his bans Robinson was able to get 10,000 supporters to his rallies, while in 2019 numbers struggled to get beyond a few hundred.
Elon Musk has made a huge error and he can fix it by reinstating the ban on Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins today. If you agree, you can add your name to our petition now.

Thanks for everything you do,
Angharad
