Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins reinstated on X

More evidence that X is now a cesspit.
I will quote part of the article below for anyone not sure who the above people are
"Anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson has had his account reinstated on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was reinstated alongside political commentator Katie Hopkins.
Hopkins was banned in 2020 and Robinson's account was suspended in 2018 - Twitter accused both of breaking its rules on hateful conduct.

👉 It is complex
I understand why people need to stay on there, and how hard it is for them to leave.
People should not have to put up with the abuse on there.
Letting anti Islam racists on there just empowers others to impunity.
Meanwhile we h ave laws in the UK that require X to take action,
I think there is an issue for people who want to leave but can't due to number of followers who are not going to leave, despite what is going on.
@zleap It is never easy to quit an addiction. The dopamine-addicted human mind 🧠 will invent innumerable ‘reasons’ NOT to.
I appreciate that, if you own a business and use social media, and you have customers on X is that an addiction, if you leave you potentially lose that customer base.
I am not sure if that is addiction or it is a case of being locked in to that system.
@zleap #Twitter
