X lets N-word posts target politicians
Social media platform X is facing criticism for not removing dozens of racist posts targeting UK politicians. British Future, a social inclusion thinktank, reported 30 posts calling Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch the N-word, but X refused to act. X only restricted two messages, saying it usually acts when posts are reported as illegal under UK law.
