Katie Hopkins took to Twitter to share an offensive joke about Muslim women wearing the nikab and the latest iPhone face recognition feature.
She tweeted a picture of six women wearing the nikab with the post, "Hey, beautiful ladies. What do you think of iPhone X Face ID?"
Twitter users were not impressed and quickly retaliated on the social media forum.

You realise they can just lift up their burqa to unlock their phone right? It's not glued on, stop trying to be funny

This is beyond appalling. I’m happy we could strip @KTHopkins of her voice on LBC but now I feel @Twitter needs to act. pic.twitter.com/L46y8yN23H

"Free speech" does not mean "I can say whatever I like to insult people."

Wearing a burka or hijab is an expression of religion. To attempt to humiliate women simply for choosing to express their religion is vile
