A Sesame Workshop spokesperson said, “Elmo’s X account was briefly compromised yesterday by an unknown hacker who posted disgusting messages, including antisemitic and racist posts.

Sesame Workshop was trying to regain full control over its Elmo account on the X platform Monday after a hacker gained access and posted a string of racist and antisemitic messages.

Red-light devices are all over social feeds and make enormous promises. From the many, we find the few that are actually worth your commitment, time, and money.
