白宫对他明显支持“可怕的”阴谋论的表态进行了猛烈抨击,随后,马斯克坚称自己不是反犹主义者。

马斯克还宣布,在X上使用“非殖民化”一词来形容以色列,以及其他暗指犹太人种族灭绝的词语的用户将被暂停使用该平台。

Meanwhile X sued Media Matters for America, a pressure group, after it published data purporting11 to show that X had allowed ads to run next to Nazi12 and Holocaust-denying posts.

与此同时,X公司起诉了一个名为美国媒体事务的施压集团,因为该集团公布的数据显示,X允许广告出现在亲纳粹和否认大屠杀的帖子旁边。

Some big companies, including Apple, Disney and IBM, pulled their advertising13 from the site following the report. 包括苹果、迪士尼和IBM在内的一些大公司在这份报告发布后从该网站上撤下了广告。

一些犹太名流敦促抖音处理平台上反犹太、反以色列帖子的增加,其中包括奥萨马·本·拉登针对犹太人和西方的怨恨评论的重新出现,这一言论于2002年首次出现。

Bin Laden’s self-styled “Letter to America” recently went viral on TikTok, which eventually removed hashtags linked to it.

本·拉登自称的《致美国信》最近在抖音上走红,抖音最终删除了与之相关的话题标签。
