The largest advertisers left the social network X due to anti-Semitic posts
Disney and Apple are the largest advertisers of the X social network, as well as IBM, Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount, Sony Pictures and Lionsgate suspended the placement of advertising on the platform due to anti-Semitic posts. About this writes The Hollywood Reporter.
Earlier, the non -profit organization Media Matters for America published an investigation in which she found out that advertising of several large companies is located in the X next to the content that promotes Hitler, his Nazi party and anti -Semitic conspiracy theories. In addition, advertising posts fall into the accounts of the renovators of the Holocaust, neo -Nazis and supporters of the murders of LGBT+ defenders and politicians.
The owner of X Ilon Musk is also criticized for supporting anti -Semitic statements. One of them was the representative of the White House Andrew Bates called "the disgusting propaganda of anti -Semitic and racist hatred."
Platform X refused to directly comment on the post of mask. Later, the General Director of X Linda Yakkarino wrote: "X always clearly declares the efforts of the company to combat anti -Semitism and discrimination. There is no place anywhere in the world - it is ugly and wrong. Point."
Musk himself announced his intentions to file a “thermonuclear” lawsuit against all organizations that opposed the platform against the background of the scandal with its statements.
In October 2022, after the acquisition of the Twitter social network, later renamed X, advertisers began to leave it. The new owner reduced the moderation of content, which, according to human rights activists, led to an increase in her rhetoric of hatred.
According to the antidiffamational league, struggling with anti -Semitism, after the start of the war between Israel and Hamas in American society, the flow of anti -Semitic statements increased significantly, writes Voice of America.
