Today, we are joining dozens of other groups to ask advertisers to pause Twitter spending because we are profoundly concerned about antisemitism and hate on the platform. Here's why we're asking advertisers to #StopHateForProfit and #StopToxicTwitter🧵stophateforprofit.org/statement-call…
This past Tuesday, @Twitter’s new owner @elonmusk met with representatives from U.S civil society organizations, including @JGreenblattADL and @YaelEisenstat. Following that meeting, Musk pledged that "Twitter will continue to combat hate & harassment," including antisemitism.
Since that meeting, Musk permitted @kanyewest to start posting again. From Ye's "Death Con 3" tweet to @KyrieIrving promoting an antisemitic film, we've seen celebrities use Twitter to disseminate antisemitic conspiracy theories and hate to tens of millions of followers. 
When Adam Green, an antisemitic podcaster with over 28,000 followers, shared a tweet describing Judaism with terms like 'savage,' 'evil,' and 'wicked,' Twitter declined to remove it after being alerted to it by ADL, saying that it did not violate its community guidelines.
Antisemitic extremist groups continue using Twitter to organize and share propaganda. Prominent members of the white supremacist-led National Justice party are actively sharing antisemitic and racist content and also provide links to extremist platforms.
Twitter has been one of the primary places for disseminating the Boston Mapping Project, which called on activists to 'dismantle' Jewish community institutions and a wide array of essential Jewish community groups because they support Israel.
Since October 27th, a 4chan-driven campaign in which trolls are deliberately flooding Twitter with antisemitic imagery and memes in response to Musk's takeover – has increased in volume. As of today, it's received over 16,000 mentions.
Musk has also conducted massive layoffs, gutting staff that supported combating antisemitism and hate on Twitter. Until Musk makes real changes to #stophateforprofit, we urge advertisers to #StopToxicTwitter by pausing their advertising on the platform globally.
