Auschwitz Museum Criticizes "X" Platform Over Anti-Semitic Post

The Auschwitz Memorial Museum criticized the social media platform "X," formerly known as "Twitter," on Thursday for failing to delete an anti-Semitic post. The CEO of "X," Elon Musk, has described himself as a proponent of absolute free speech, but critics argue that his approach is irresponsible. Researchers have detected an increase in hate speech and anti-Semitic content on the platform since Musk took over, and some governments have accused the platform of failing to intervene regarding the content being posted. The memorial, which preserves the site of the Nazi extermination camp established by Germany in occupied Poland during World War II, stated in a post on "X" that it reported an anti-Semitic message but received a response from the platform indicating that the content did not violate its guidelines. The museum shared images including the post and what it claimed was "X"'s response to its complaint.
