According to
Anti-Defamation League findings,
“about 3 million Twitter users posted or
reposted at least 4.2 million anti-Semitic
tweets in English over a 12-month
period ending Jan. 28 [2018].” That adds up
to a whole lot of hatred.
Anti-Semitic incidents within the United States were more
numerous last year than they had been in decades. These might have been fueled by extremists who post virulent messages
against Jews and others.
The ADL is
urging Twitter to take a stand against such
“hate-filled content.” Free speech
becomes quite costly when it leads to
violence and death.
