The lawsuit was filed in Berlin regional court by HateAid, an organization fighting against “hate speech,” and the European Union of Jewish Students (EUJS).
Unlike in America, where we have the First Amendment, Holocaust denial and some forms of “hate speech” are against the law in Germany.
On their website, HateAid argues that Twitter is failing to protect users by allowing antisemitic statements and insults against Jews to be made.
“Twitter promises to protect all its users,” HateAid says on their website. “But antisemitism is a normality on the platform. Insults against Jews, trivialisation and denial of the shoah: antisemitic statements, images and videos can be found all over Twitter. The platform’s lack of moderation leads to an unprecedented spread of antisemitic ideology.”
