Are you by any chance from South Africa? I am asking because that’s the only country where Anti Whiteism is a recognised term. So the problem maybe that your cause is not even recognised in your home country.
Got a tip for us?

You do realize the kind of drivel that's posted on tiktok? the hate, especially during this middle east conflict is INSANELY one sided.
Tiktok should be banned. And hate is not even in the top 3 reasons for it.
Regardless if a platform wants to allow hate speech or profit from it they should not be expecting mainstream brands to advertise on it. Like no one has seen Apple ads on Reddit.
He's had too many "Honest, I swear we mean it this time" moments to be able to recover from this one.
He did not recover from the last time either. He had to step down as Twitter CEO, which might have been just in name but still it was a setback. This time investors are pulling him out from his Tesla role. Thats pretty much his day to day. So expect him to be more active on Twitter and offend minority social groups even further.

Doesn’t look good for X. To engage with someone, even with an unorthodox theory, is one thing — but to state “this is the actual truth” about a general insane theory was clearly a mistake.
wth are you talking about
A "recognised term"? Human don't need a list of elite-approved terms to talk about the reality
Next you will ban talking about the future Apple M4 cpu and Apple M5 cpu because they are not yet "recognised term" ?
This looks pretty bad for 'The Genius'.
Look what happened to Kanye after his loose words. Everybody dropped him. It only takes a big company like Apple, and many more will soon follow.
I bet Yaccarino decides to leave within a week. This is only going to snowball.

What’s the alternative? Left wing cesspools like Mastodon and Threads? Anti-semitism is rampant among the Left. And censorship is a recipe for disaster. We don’t need Chinese style social credit systems in the West.
I suspect Apple will be back. After all, they pander to China (as does Musk), which is one of the worst abusers of human rights.
No I am not saying your cause is invalid. I am saying its not recognised so instead of asking others to believe in it, you should first form a group and try to get it recognised officially. Maybe in your state first and then your country. Its a long process but nobody said justice comes easy.
Advertisers are exercising their right to not pay for the opportunity to have their ads appear right next to Nazi crap. If Elmo could keep the site clear of that stuff, he'd have actual revenue.
Not sure how you think Apple has any obligation to protect the free speech rights of one of its advertising vendors.
Conversely, every company and person is perfectly free to choose the company that they keep. You seem to find that kind of freedom objectionable.
Away with ye, Man!
[btw, it's o.k. to *not* reply to anything (and I often do just that) . . . it's just that this is a Blue Ball, I happen to adore

i’m genuinely curious as to why so many people still feel compelled to defend musk. like no matter what this impossibly corny man does, there’s a small number of unshakable people that happily go to bat for this intellectual lightweight trust fund kid billionaire pervert.
His personal cult has a large overlap with Trump supporters. He was also endorsing Ramaswamy if Trump is not allowed to compete. Yes the same Ramaswamy that said 9/11 was an inside job.
From zero to "Chinese style social credit systems" in two lines. Must be some kind of record.
He's just a nut job, and can be national security problem soon.
Just like all those in the far right (and far left) I don't think he's a fan of Jews or Israel.

The sooner twitter, oops X, sheds the remainder of its value and disappears the better ... its worth 44 million not 44 billion.
I think his behaviour has been completely unhinged after his son/daughter transitioned. He needs therapy which he continues to refuse.
Instead we keep seeing these episodes of the degradation of this once great man and his empire. It is very sad because even I once idolised him when he just talked about electric future and Mars colonisation.
Yeah ... a father of reusable rocket. So sad he has become, and he did it to himself. He could be one of the greatest man in America today.
So tragic.
