Actor famous for his role as Ross in ‘Friends’, who is Jewish, described the singer as a ‘disturbed intolerant’
He appealed to the entrepreneur to be removed from X, a platform previously known as Twitter. Since the Grammy ceremony, Kanye has used his social networks to spread hate messages and offenses. Schwimmer, who is Jewish, described Kanye as a “disturbed intolerant” and stressed that the rapper has 32.7 million followers, a number that surpasses the global Jewish population. The actor also brought up some of Kanye’s controversial statements, such as his support for Adolf Hitler and his racist opinions.
Schwimmer expressed his concern about the apparent lack of reaction to Kanye’s lines and criticized social networking passivity to deal with this type of content. Despite the appeal, Kanye’s account remains active in X, and he has managed to attract 300,000 new followers since Schwimmer’s demonstration.
By 2022, Kanye West had already been banned from the platform by publishing content considered offensive. The current situation raises questions about the responsibility of social networks to moderate discourses that incite hatred and violence. Inaction in relation to public figures that promote this type of message can have serious consequences, especially for vulnerable communities.
