[Thread] 1. Yesterday the hashtag #boycottrachelriley took off. It littered whole chunks of Twitter. This thread provides some background to it & why many hardcore racists are supporting it. It involves the deliberate targeting of a Jewish woman, @RachelRileyRRpic.twitter.com/2exaX9TJg7

2. The
@SFFakeNews campaign provides companies with information on how their adverts appear on sites which promote racism or racist conspiracy theories. Great, all decent people including socialists, should welcome such an initiative. A similar one happened in US years backpic.twitter.com/E75uiG4tK9The media could not be played.3 replies 2 retweets 11 likesShow this thread -
3. We know that conspiracy theories are at the v. heart of hardcore antisemitic beliefs, this is evidence by the centrality of the "Protocols" to such ideas. This is David Duke, ex-Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan promoting it. Duke in neo-Nazi gear too. Get the connection?pic.twitter.com/TYBAhbIhOE

4. Therefore, any campaign highlighting
#FakeNews & its link to racism, be it#breitbart#DavidIcke or@TheCanaryUK etc, must be welcomed by sensible people & antiracists 5.@RachelRileyRR is a vocal supporter of@SFFakeNews She works, solidly to counter antisemitismpic.twitter.com/aQHkzpokAcThe media could not be played.3 replies 3 retweets 15 likesShow this thread
So basically, you are calling for the censorship of our press and ignoring the fact that The Canary & Evolve are regulated by @impressreg. Nevermind who is behind this Twitter account SFFakenews, we have no clue who is behind it and they are meant to be independent regulators?
