Twitter locked rapper Kanye West's account over an antisemitic tweet. It comes after West's Instagram account was also restricted for violating the company's policies, according to a spokesperson.
Twitter locked rapper Kanye West’s Twitter account over an anti-Semitic tweet posted on the account on Saturday. In the since-removed tweet, West said he was “going death con 3 [sic] On JEWISH PEOPLE,” and also that, “You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda,” without specifying what group he was addressing, according to internet archive records pulled by CNN.
” The spokesperson did not say which policy was violated but instead sent a link to Twitter’s rules, which include guidelines against hateful conduct. Twitter would not say how long the account would be locked or when the user would be able to tweet again. On Friday, West’s Instagram account was restricted for violating the company’s policies, a Meta spokesperson told CNN. In a tweet, the Anti-Defamation League said, “Power. Disloyalty. Greed. Deicide. Blood. Denial. Anti-Zionism.
