Elon Musk's social media app X placing ads on extremist hashtags
Elon Musk's social media app X has been placing advertisements in search results for hashtags promoting racist and antisemitic extremism, despite previous promises to demonetize hate posts. The platform has struggled with controlling its ad network and intersecting with hate speech for years. Musk has rolled back content moderation since purchasing the app, leading to major advertisers pulling out. The platform has allowed extremist hashtags like #whitepower and #whitepride, leading to backlash and calls for better content moderation.
