Key Points
X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter, has decided to lift the suspension on rapper and designer Kanye West approximately eight months after the initial action, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal on Saturday...
During the autumn of last year, West shared an image that seemingly depicted a swastika intertwined with a Star of David, leading tycoon Elon Musk, who had acquired the platform just weeks before, to suspend the artist from X. Musk, in that period, categorized West's post as an "incitement to violence.".
The rapper, now professionally known as Ye, reportedly reassured the platform that he would refrain from sharing any antisemitic content or using harmful language on his account, according to the Journal..
In May, the German company reported that the termination of their highly successful collaboration with West had a negative impact on sales, amounting to approximately 400 million euros (US$441 million) in the first quarter of the year..
After Musk's acquisition of Twitter for $44 billion in October of last year, the platform witnessed significant changes, including the termination of thousands of employees and reduced content moderation..
