    For @X such antisemitic message:

    “Still about those disgusting Jews… Sad that no one talks about the 80 million victims of the second war, they are probably “worse” than this Jewish vermin. May they burn in hell, phooey.”

    is no violation of the Twitter rules. @elonmusk @lindayaX @Support

    Antisemitism has caused immense pain and suffering throughout history, leading to discrimination, violence, and genocide of which Auschwitz remains one of the most important symbols.

    Leaving such language unchecked perpetuates the cycle of hatred and reinforces the idea that such hateful language is acceptable on this platform.

    Remember: it did not start with gas chambers but hateful ideology that was expressed with words.
