A Virginia county school district has instructed teachers and librarians to remove a list of 75 books from shelves — including "The Handmaid's Tale," "Slaughter House 5," and "Wicked." https://t.co/DojJ2y9LSn

Hanover County schools bans 75 more books, including "Wicked" and "The Handmaid's Tale"

A review panel of teachers, principals and librarians ruled the books "meet the School Board's criteria for being sexually explicit," said school district spokesman Chris Whitley.

Elon routinely interacted with and retweeted nazis on Twitter long before he bought it. After, he fired the content safety staff and courted nazis who had been banned and put them back on the site. Earlier this year he started PAYING THEM to keep posting.

It's nice that people are noticing his nazi shit now, but it's a journalistic malpractice that it's taken this long and most omit this history.

This WaPo story is the exception: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/11/19/antisemiticism-internet-elon-musk-israel-war/

Antisemitism was rising online. Then Elon Musk’s X supercharged it.

Antisemitism has long festered on the internet, but the Israel-Gaza war and the loosening of content moderation on X have propelled it to unprecedented levels.
