Bassem Youssef removed from X over "Antisemitism" [August 20th, 2024 | albawaba.com]

No articles from western owner-class media, yet.

Please reply with better source if you find one, I will update post ASAP.


ALBAWABA - Egyptian comedian Bassem Youssef went viral on Musk’s X (formerly known as Twitter) when the individual’s account was removed from the platform after criticizing Israelis using “Antisemitism” as a fear tactic to shut down conversations and scare people into talking their minds.

Users claimed that the post in question was the reason Bassem Youssef was allegedly removed on X and yet again judged Musk for promising “freedom of speech” on the platform but censoring pro-Palestine accounts but not pro-Israel ones.

protist ,

Why would you care about anyone being removed from X? These decisions are being made by a capricious, petulant, and increasingly right-wing extremist Elon Musk. By complaining about this you just give him oxygen. Just abandon the site instead.

I disagree with your view on this matter.

I am against censorship, including self-censorship.

Our western media is owner-class media, which includes all popular social media as well.

IMO: You will never win over the working class if you keep running away from everything.

I am more for being active and sharing diverse ideas everywhere you can reach an audience, not just the ones that think like you want them to or the ones that agree with your way of thinking.

We must continue to try and learn, as well as discuss, with all of the working class, not just our tribal groups.

Echo chambers are not healthy for our society.

You just said a bunch of different things, some of which really aren’t related to what we’re talking about, and also changed nothing about X
