Seth Rogen has been chatting with Twitter co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey about the number of white supremacists on the platform.
The Vancouver-born actor tweeted on Tuesday that he has been exchanging direct messages with Dorsey for “the last 8 months or so” about the company’s “bizarre need to verify white supremacists on his platform.”
“Ban the Nazis” has been a frequent outcry from the social media site’s users for years, leading to an update of Twitter’s policies, which include banning members who belong to hate groups. Twitter began a so-called “purge” of users who identify as part of a hate group, but critics of Twitter say the platform isn’t doing enough to keep hate-speech and “Nazis” off the site. Far-right users have even taken to mocking Twitter’s attempts to clean up its user-base.
But, as far as Rogen has been able to determine, based on his conversations with Dorsey, the CEO “simply does not seem to give a f***.”
Rogen has not yet publicly shared screenshots of his DMs with Dorsey, nor has he elaborated on his conversations.
