Twitter sparked a social media backlash after it refused to delete a tweet that called Jews “absolutely vile.”
The abusive post, which referred to orthodox Jews in an area of north-east London, read: ‘Drove through Stamford Hill today. F*** me the gaffs[sic] riddled with full blown Jews. Absolutely vile.’
It comes just weeks after the social media giant was accused of aiding and abetting anti-semitic users and failing to act against online hate.
The Daily Mail reports the original post was queried by Shulem Stern, a Hackney local, who reported the tweet within 30 minutes of first seeing it, and was horrified at Twitter’s response.
