Twitter discriminates against me because I am a proud, unapologetic
Jew. If you are Jewish and active on the platform - Twitter probably
discriminates against you too.
Twitter is a biased platform. We all know that. But their ability
to influence goes a lot further than simply not banning antisemites. They also
decide who to legitimise and who to refuse to give that credit to. As an
example, Twitter have just turned me down as a candidate for verification for
the third time.
Last year there was a Jewish boycott of Twitter because of the
platform's unwillingness to take antisemitism seriously. Twitter provides a
blatantly visible example of open discrimination - in which anti-Jewish racism
is treated very differently. You can say almost anything about Jews on Twitter-
yet Twitter rarely responds to complaints of antisemitism the way they would if
the target was a different minority group. This blindness explains why
antisemitism is so rampant on the platform.
When their own 'partners' point out their failings, Twitter cuts
all contact - just as they did recently
with the Campaign against Antisemitism. Through their inactivity and
unwillingness to act, Twitter permit daily racist abuse against people like me.
But the non-banning or suspending of anti-Jewish racists is only
one element of Twitter's multi-faceted discriminatory environment. 'Zionists'
are errantly seen as 'right wing' and the Twittersphere leans 'progressive'
left - which means openly unapologetic Zionists are disfavoured on the
platform. It is a shifting Overton window. As right-wing voices are cut more
frequently, and for lesser crimes, than left-wing voices - what constitutes the
middle ground, slowly, but consistently moves further left. Eventually what was
once a centrist opinion becomes right-wing, and what was centre-right is then
viewed as an extremist position- and those promoting it become vulnerable to
censorship or expulsion. In such a manipulated test-tube, everyone who does not
conform to the progressive mindset - is standing in quicksand.
I've been active against antisemitism and extremism for over two
decades - but only turned to publicly associating with my own research with the
start of this blog in 2014.
Being a front-line soldier has a cost though - and I became a
figure of hate for the other side. My name was trashed in their toxic journals
- I am sent death threats and obscene messages almost daily, my website is
constantly under attack - and I have been physically assaulted -twice- on
London's streets.
From permitting abuse against me, to refusing to treat me as it
does others - Twitter discriminates against me because I am a proud,
unapologetic Jew.
