A statement on social media policy - CARTOONISTS RIGHTS
Effective immediately, CARTOONISTS RIGHTS will cease posting content to Twitter, now known as “X”, until such time as there is a change in ownership and a marked improvement in the website’s policies and functionality.
Following recent changes in policy and performance on the Twitter/’X' social media platform, and the public actions of its owner, Cartoonist Rights shall stop using his site as a means of outward communication with immediate effect.
Theses issues include:
- Greater exposure to the processes of training proprietary artificial intelligence, and the removal of titles or headlines from web links posted to the site
- Disrupting searches and benefiting false and misleading posts
- Elon Musk’s endorsement of antisemitic disinformation immediately after the Hamas incursion into Israel on October 7th and of a racist conspiracy theory on November 15th
- A statement that this supposed free-speech absolutist would be banning expressions of Palestinian solidarity from the platform on the grounds of alleged genocidal intent
- His repeated validation of the “pizzagate” conspiracy theory, and his tacit endorsement of numerous peddlers of hatred including defamer of bereaved parents Alex Jones and alleged human trafficker Andrew Tate
- The news that he would sue independent watchdog Media Matters
- Most recently, evidence that “X” is turning a blind eye to racism, homophobia and sexual harassment on their platform as a matter of policy.

War on Gaza: Communicating with cartoons
Cartoon about Netanyahu, cartoonist Steve Bell fired by the Guardian after 40 years
Steve Bell, the Guardian’s longtime cartoonist, was “kicked out” from the British newspaper, according to the cartoonist himself, due to a cartoon on Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu was newspaper believed it to be anti-Semitic.
Speaking about the story, the cartoonist wrote that “it has become almost impossible to draw anything in the Guardian that concerns Israel without being accused of anti-Semitism”
"The image itself was inspired by the late, great David Levine's cartoon of President Lyndon Johnson (LBJ) showing off his operation scar, which Levine draws in the shape of a map of Vietnam."
