The CCDH studied the growth rates of 10 influential accounts that pay for X Premium and have posted anti-Jewish and/or anti-Muslim hate speech since October 7, 2023, when Hamas’ attack on Israel sparked the Israel-Gaza conflict. Some of these accounts had previously posted conspiracy theory content related to COVID-19, per the report.

The 10 accounts tracked for the study (titled “Hate pays: How X accounts are exploiting the Israel-Gaza conflict to grow and profit”) are: Jackson Hinkle, Dr. Anastasia Maria Loupis, Censored Men, Jake Shields, Dr. Eli David, Radio Genoa, Ryan Dawson, Keith Woods, Way of the World, and Sam Parker.

    It was the whole point. To ruin the world’s town square. Fill it full of hate.

    All billionaires profit off tragedy. Every day people are starving, living on the streets, turning off the heating and freezing to death, because billionaires need more money. Obviously an actual genocide is worse than the day-to-day of capitalism, but they are both tragedies. Musk is no different from others who have the power and money to help but choose selfishness instead

    Id wager not just tragedy but misinformation too. Id wager quite a bit theres a lot of hate being boosted to drown out what little truth is left there.
