Kanye West's Twitter and Instagram accounts were locked over the weekend following the hip-hop superstar posting messages that have been deemed antisemitic by many. However, the watchdog group StopAntisemitism feels temporary restrictions on West's accounts don't go far enough and is calling for the star to be permanently banned from the social media platforms.
"Twitter and Instagram (Meta) continuing to give Ye a platform is irresponsible, fuels hatred and damages the welfare of Jewish communities across the globe," Liora Rez, executive director of StopAntisemitism, said in a statement. "StopAntisemitism calls on Ye to publicly apologize for his comments, and for Meta and Twitter to permanently suspend him from their platforms."
