Twitter blocks Kanye West's account for anti-Semitic message
The rapper returned to the social network after a two year absence and after being suspended from Instagram.
This Sunday, Twitter blocked U.S. rapper Kanye West's account, who had just returned to the social network after a two year absence, after a post was described as anti-Semitic.
The social network confirmed blocking West on the grounds that one of his tweets violated the platform's policies. In his message, the rapper accused the Jewish community of playing games with him and pressuring to exclude anyone who criticizes his actions.
The artist now known as Ye had not tweeted since November 2020 and had returned this weekend to the social network after also being suspended from Instagram last Friday after suggesting that rapper Sean Combs, better known as Diddy, was being controlled by Jews who were attempting to silence .
After his suspension, the rapper posted this message, mentioning Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, the parent company of Instagram.
Kanye West's Twitter account is operational again although the tweet that prompted the block was deleted. It is also now possible to access the rapper's Instagram account.
