I've Been Thinking:
Twitter has shuttered accounts of people who have a Star of David as part of their profile picture.
Twitter informed account holders that their the Star of David was “hateful imagery.”
Several people reported that they received this message.
It reads: “We have determined that this account violated the Twitter Rules. Specifically for: violating our rules against posting hateful imagery. You may not use hateful images or symbols in your profile image or profile header. As a result, we have looked your account.”
This move by twitter is nothing short of crazy – and it is not the first time it has happened. At one point YouTube considered “Zionism” and “Zionist” to be hate words.
I just did a twitter search of the word swastika.
There were thousands of pictures of anti-Semitic swastikas. In fact, the first image was a person wearing a red COVID facemask with a swastika.
