White House slams ex-CEO Elon Musk for supporting anti-Semitic stance Later, leading global companies also came forward by withdrawing advertisements from X. Many companies such as Walt Disney and Warner Bros have withdrawn from X. The controversy started when Musk approved a post on X that Jews are the ones who breed hatred against white people. “This is propaganda that reflects anti-Semitic racism. It goes against our core values as Americans,” White House sources responded.
” Repeating this propaganda is unacceptable. “It’s been months since a day that sowed the lives of the Jewish people since the Holocaust,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said. His response was referring to the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas fighters. Paramount and Lionsgate have also withdrawn their from X. IBM had already withdrawn the ad. Since Musk took the helm of the company in October 2022, several ad providers have left X.
It was also reported that content including hate speech and racism has increased. Anti-Semitic comments have been on the rise in America lately. This practice became widespread after the Israel-Hamas conflict. Accounts linked to Hamas were previously removed from X. This was announced by CEO Linda Yacarino. After the Hamas attack in Israel, EU industry chief Thierry Breton asked X boss Elon Musk to comply with EU rules related to online content. Soon after, accounts related to Hamas were removed from X.
CEO Linda Yaccarino also stated that necessary steps are being taken to remove illegal content from X. “Hundreds of Hamas-related accounts have been found since the start of the conflict. They were all removed,” Linda said. Linda said that in the current situation, many accounts are being investigated and found to be spreading fake and artificial content.
Last August, the European Union passed the Digital Services Act. Accordingly, social media companies are advised to strictly monitor illegal content on their platforms and take action. ‘Terrorist groups have no place in X. We will remove such accounts,” said Linda Yaccarino. The European Union has rated X as the worst-performing social media platform for spreading and controlling fake news.
