Mon 31 July 2023:
Kanye West was allowed to rejoin X on Saturday after the social media platform formerly known as Twitter received guarantees that the controversial musician wouldn’t use it to disseminate hateful or anti-Semitic content, Wall Street Journal reported.

Late last year, shortly after posting an image of a swastika fusing with a star of David, West, also known by his legal name Ye, was banned from the social network. Elon Musk, the network’s owner, had restored a number of well-known Twitter accounts that had been suspended during its previous ownership.
According to the Wall Street Journal, who cited an anonymous source close to the situation, X has been assured that West’s newly restored account will not be used to distribute anti-Semitic rhetoric. He has not yet posted to the social network as of Sunday afternoon.
West’s formal suspension from Twitter followed a string of anti-Semitic statements in interviews and on social media last year, including an October tweet in which he said he would go “death con 3” on members of the Jewish community. His account was locked by Twitter afterwards, before he was later readmitted to the platform.

Shortly after his return last year, West praised Adolf Hitler and the Nazis on Twitter before posting the swastika image which appeared to lead to his suspension. Elon Musk declared at the time: “I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended.”
In March, West said that he “liked Jewish people again” while speaking about the movie ‘21 Jump Street’ featuring the American actor Jonah Hill.
West will not be allowed to monetize his account under the terms of his readmission to Twitter, the WSJ added in its Saturday report. Elon Musk announced earlier this year that certain high-profile content creators would receive a share of revenue from advertisements linked to their posts.
