X accused of giving racists ‘impunity’ after refusing to bar N- and P-word posts
X has refused to remove social media posts containing racial abuse against UK politicians, including Kemi Badenoch, Shabana Mahmood, and Zia Yusuf, despite being reported as 'hate, abuse or harassment'. Researchers from British Future documented 30 instances where Badenoch was targeted with the N-word, with X taking no action in most cases.
