2023-01-09 02:45:58 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

In 2017, users on the site 4chan aimed to convince the media that the OK gesture was being used as a white power symbol, as a joke. The ADL notes that the usage of the OK hand gesture is sometimes benign, but that it is intended as a symbol of hate in some contexts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_gesture

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1611471832728608769

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
