The German pension insurance is withdrawing from the “X” platform. In a statement, the DRV makes it clear how little it thinks of Elon Musk's management.
“We strongly distance ourselves from anti-Semitic, discriminatory and racist content as well as any form of disinformation,” the pension insurance company continues. Musk caused a storm of indignation when he agreed with a user on X who had written that “Jewish communities” were fomenting “hatred against white people” The background is a right-wing extremist conspiracy theory according to which Jews are pursuing a secret plan to bring irregular migrants to Western countries in order to weaken the white majority. The European Commission opened proceedings against X in December, this involved references to illegal and misleading contributions to the Gaza war.. Online platforms are obliged by a new EU law on digital services (DSA) to take strict action against illegal content such as hate speech and hate speech online. The Federal Network Agency has also announced that it will check more closely whether the platforms comply with European laws.
