KANYE WEST TWITTER BAN

The ban came in December 2022 when West posted a highly offensive image that put together a swastika with the Star of David. This violated the platform’s rules against incitement to violence reports BBC News. At that time, Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, made the suspension. This led to many discussions and debates about the limits of free speech on social media.

However, after months of negotiations and discussions between West’s people and the X team, the decision was made to restore his account. His account is now on the rebranded platform known as ‘X.’ However, the restoration comes with some conditions. West has reportedly committed to not sharing any anti-Semitic or hateful content in the future.
