Chief Rabbi warns ‘tidal wave of anti-Jewish invective’ on X fuelling violence against community
Intervention comes as Ofcom welcomes new measures from the social media platform, which are meant to combat illegal hate and terror content
Assessment
The Chief Rabbi's warning about anti-Jewish invective on X points to a direct link between online rhetoric and physical violence against the community. Ofcom's welcome of the platform's new measures suggests regulatory pressure is mounting, but the effectiveness of those measures remains unproven. The key question is whether voluntary steps by X will be enough to stem the tide, or if stronger enforcement will be demanded.
