Social media platforms are coming under renewed pressure because of the failure to remove hateful and racist content. The latest criticism comes from ‘The Jewish Chronicle’ newspaper in Britain and it is directly addressed to Twitter.
In a post on social media earlier today, the official account of the newspaper claimed that Twitter is not taking “serious action against Jew hate”.
“By refusing to take serious action against Jew hate, Twitter enables & promotes racism. It must get its house in order.”, posted the newspaper’s official Twitter account.
Consequently, ‘The Jewish Chronicle’ has decided to send a serious message to the social media app Twitter. They are doing this by observing a “48 hour @Twitter walk out” from tomorrow, as stated in the below tweet.
This campaign has also started to receive celebrity endorsements, including support from Robert Rinder who is a columnist and the host of the Judge Rinder show on ITV.
