Elon Musk, who bought Twitter to safeguard free speech on what he called a "digital town square," has imposed a controversial censorship policy targeting language used by people to question the legitimacy of the Israeli government or campaign for a different political order in Israeli-controlled lands.

The move comes in the wake of Musk himself being accused of anti-semitism.

On Friday, Musk announced that anyone using the slogan "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" will have their X account suspended, on the assumption that the phrase "necessarily impl[ies] genocide."
