A social-media account for white male supporters of Kamala Harris was briefly suspended from X following a fundraising call.

A social-media account for white male supporters of Kamala Harris was briefly suspended from X, formerly Twitter, sparking anger online.

Newsweek observed that the White Dudes for Harris X account had been temporarily suspended after the group held a star-studded virtual call on Monday night that raised more than $4 million.

It is not clear why the account was suspended, but it appeared to have been restored as of the early hours of Tuesday. The automated message when the account was suspended read: “X suspends accounts which violate the X rules.”

Mike Nellis, who is involved in the organization, shared an update on Tuesday explaining that while the X account is live again, it still remains suspended.

…

In response to the suspension, Ross Morales Rocketto, an organizer for the group, wrote, “Got @elonmusk [X owner] scared.”

Brett Meiselas, the co-founder of outlet MeidasTouch, shared on X a photo of the suspended account, along with the message: “This is the real election interference.”

    So we can recognize how shitty racism is and then still do segregated activities because it’s ok when the right people do it? I don’t understand this line of reasoning.

      If half your targeted audience is a certain way, it’s important to broaden your tone to fit and capture as many people’s attention as possible.

      It’s a marketing concept, and a damn good one, too.

      I used the same concept here. I avoided long words so my audience could consume the ideas.
