Twitch blocks creating new accounts from Israeli IP's

I imagine @dang is pretty on top of clapping antisemitic comments on this platform, he’s not one to mess around.

I worry that softening the definition of antisemitism by saying things border on it is ultimately weakening the severity of the accusation long term. Like bigot and pedo, antisemite will soon be relegated to just another empty accusation before long.

Should I call people “cryptoantisemites” instead, when they dance on that thin line between “trying to be unbiased” and “calling to wipe Israel and its inhabitants from the map”, never actually uttering the latter aloud?

You can call them whatever you want, as long as you can point to instances of what real users actually said.

Instead of referring to abstract/hypothetical users and what you think they might be saying in some alternate universe.

I actually think that would be an apt term for every Twitter account promoting an alt coin…

no, he isn't. there is a bunch of accounts that post comments like this. get at most slap on the wrist. but the one that get banned are pro-israeli accounts.
