X removes Holocaust denying post after Auschwitz Museum criticism

May 27,2022 11:50 pm

X, formerly called Twitter, has removed a post denying The Holocaust after criticism from The Auschwitz Museum. The Social Media platform had initially said The Post did not break its rules.

The offensive post was a reply to one from The Museum about a three year-old Jewish girl murdered in The concentration camp's gas chambers.

The Post called her death a " fairy tale" and used anti-Semitic tropes.

X's policies state that Holocaust denial is prohibited.

At least 1. 1 million people were in Poland. Almost one million were Jews. The Museum notes More Than 200,000 were children and Young People .

They were gassed, starved, worked to death and killed in medical experiments.

According to a post on X by The Memorial and Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau, it had reported The offensive reply but received a response saying that after viewing The " available information" The Platform had decided no rules had been broken.

That initial response to The Museum 's complaint, according to X, was down to a mistake during The First Review - it was escalated and removed in a second Review .

" Violent event denial" is banned under X's The Platform says it prohibits content denying that mass murder took place which " includes, but is not limited to, events like The Holocaust , school shootings, terrorist attacks, and natural disasters".

The X account which made The offensive post on Sunday has 20 followers.

While X says it has removed The Post , The account was still accessible as of Monday 17:00 GMT. Its other content includes statements and language many would find offensive.

The Company says it is reviewing whether The account should be permanently suspended.

Zero Tolerance

Elon Musk - who describes himself as a free speech absolutist - denies there has been a rise in hateful posts since he took over Twitter as it was then called. In December, he tweeted that hate speech was down by a third.

X concedes that its team responsible for policing hate speech on The Platform is smaller than before Mr Musk took over. But it argues its New Approach - which it says centres around a Zero Tolerance for illegal Material , and de-amplifying and removing ads from lawful but offensive Material - is more effective.

But others dispute that things have improved.

An suggested that there had been " a major and sustained spike in anti-Semitic posts on Twitter" since The Company 's takeover by Mr Musk in October.

The Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) has also suggested that Twitter " fails to act on 99%" of hateful messages from accounts with Twitter Blue - The Platform 's subscription service.

It says that posts containing racist, homophobic, neo-Nazi, anti-Semitic or conspiracy content were still visible days after being reported.

However X Corp has launched legal action against The CCDH, and in a legal letter its lawyer, Alex Spiro , argued that The research was " little More Than a series of inflammatory, misleading, and unsupported claims based on a cursory Review of random tweets".

The decision under Elon Musk to reinstate previously banned accounts, including The account of a neo-Nazi website founder, has also been heavily criticised.

When that were reinstated under Elon Musk , it found that 190 of them were promoting hate and violence, including depictions of rape as well as abuse directed at women and The LGBT community.

But X argues The Experience of researchers who look for offensive content is different from that of ordinary users who stand little chance of encountering it.
