Seth Rogen says he took a break from Twitter: 'I received more antisemitic vitriol on Twitter than I had in the past decade combined'

Two weeks ago, Musk bought the social platform for $43 billion.

In an interview with Uproxx's Mike Ryan, actor and comedian James Franco, who is Jewish, said that he hasn't been as active on social media since Musk took over.

I was like, 'I don't need to deal with this right now,' because there was a day last week where I was like, 'Oh, I received more antisemitic venom on social media than I had in the past decade combined.'

On Thursday, he was the first person to post since October 28.

Musk has been critical of social media moderation. The right-wing celebrated Musk's purchase of the social network.

The Washington Post reported that there was a spike in hate speech after Musk completed the acquisition.

The use of the N-word increased by 500% after the deal was finalized.

Musk doesn't agree with the idea that hate speech is on the increase. He said last week that "Hate speech at times this week decline below our prior norms" and that "Twitter's strong commitment to moderation remains absolutely unchanged."

The recent surge in harmful behavior was mitigated by the recent reduction in impressions on this content in search. The company has since lostRoth.

Musk tried to make advertisers feel better in a meeting.

According to the Post, he believes the new $8-per-monthTwitter Blue subscription, which grants users a blue check mark, would curb hate speech.

The change has led to some people pretending to be public figures.

According to the tech newsletter Platformer, the new Blue roll out was halted to address impersonation issues.
