Hate Speech’s Rise on Twitter Is Unprecedented, Researchers Find
THE NY TIMES -
Problematic content and formerly barred accounts have increased sharply in the short time since Elon Musk took over, researchers said.
• Before Elon Musk bought Twitter, slurs against Black Americans showed up on the social media service an average of 1,282 times a day. After the billionaire became Twitter’s owner, they jumped to 3,876 times a day!!
• Slurs against gay men appeared on Twitter 2,506 times a day on average before Mr. Musk took over. Afterward, their use rose to 3,964 times a day!!
• Antisemitic posts referring to J3ws or Jvdaism soared more than 61% after Mr. Musk acquired the site.
These findings — from the Center for Countering Digital Hate, the Anti-Defamation League and other groups that study online platforms — provide the most comprehensive picture to date of how conversations on Twitter have changed since Mr. Musk completed his $44 billion deal for the company in late October.
While the numbers are relatively small, researchers said the actual increases were atypically high!

Good code writing will eliminate a lot of the hate speech even if it's coated written but keep it honest free speech that's what I'm about and if you're liable Sue

@StumpTownStu Let me give an example, if I may. Politicians are targets of everyone, obviously. We all hold disdain for many of them. If I say "Joe Biden is a dolt", I'll get all sorts of flack from the left, such as "you're an idiot", or "but, but Trump", etc. However, if I say "Maxine Waters is a dolt", the responses now become "you're a racist!", or "you're a misogynist!". Have I engaged in hate speech? Some would say "yes", when all I did was give an opinion of two different politicians.
Who has called any of this hate speech?

It is a crime that they refused to take action on child exploitation for years!
When Ella Irwin, who now runs Trust & Safety, joined Twitter earlier this year, almost no one was working on child safety. She raised this with Ned & Parag, but they rejected her staffing request.

It is a crime that they refused to take action on child exploitation for years!
When Ella Irwin, who now runs Trust & Safety, joined Twitter earlier this year, almost no one was working on child safety. She raised this with Ned & Parag, but they rejected her staffing request.
"As Twitter moves into a new phase, we are reevaluating how best to bring external insights into our product and policy development work. As part of this process, we have decided that the Trust and Safety Council is not the best structure to do this," read an email to the council's members.
As The Epoch Times notes, the Trust and Safety Council has been criticized by Musk for not taking action to remove child sexual abuse material from Twitter.
The council was established in 2016 to address problems such as hate speech, child exploitation, suicide, self-harm, and other issues on the platform.
After three members of the council resigned in protest over allegations of increased hate speech on the platform on Dec. 8, Musk declared on Dec. 10 that it was “a crime that they refused to take action on child exploitation for years!”
On Dec. 10, Twitter Safety announced that it had suspended 57 percent more “bad actor” accounts in November with child sexual exploitation material (CSE), which was significantly more than any other month year-to-date.
“We’ve been improving our detection and enforcement methods and expanding our partnerships with organizations that help prevent the trafficking of CSE material,” the company said.

“We’ve been improving our detection and enforcement methods and expanding our partnerships with organizations that help prevent the trafficking of CSE material,” the company said.
Eliza Blue, a sex trafficking survivor, who has advocated for the removal of CSE material from Twitter, has noted an improvement in the way Twitter addresses the problem under Musk.
“There was basically no child safety team when he started. He made building the team his top priority. Then he built the team,” she said.
So essentially you 4-5 USERNAMES, WHO PREVIOUSLY MADE ZERO MENTION OF TWITTER ANYWHERE ON THIS SUB, are upset that Twitter has cracked down on pedophilia..... disgusting. Showing your true colors....

Elon Musk disbands Twitter's ‘Trust and Safety Council’ which tackles Child Exploitation
“Elon Musk sent up the Bat Signal to every kind of racist, misogynist and homophobe that Twitter was open for business,” said Imran Ahmed, the chief executive of the Center for Countering Digital Hate. “They have reacted accordingly.”
The Anti-Defamation League, which files regular reports of antisemitic tweets to Twitter and keeps track of which posts are removed, said Twitter had since gone from taking action on 60% of the tweets it reported to only 30%.
“Elon's actions to date show that he is not committed to a transparent process where he incorporates the best practices we have learned from civil society groups,” Ms. Eisenstat said.
“Instead Mr.Musk has emboldened racists, homophobes and antisemites.”

Toronto news report that twitter has misrepresented the role of Trust and safety council. This volunteer group from 100 organizations only make recommendations and has no decision-making authority to take action. Instead that is the job of twitter to remove harmful contents. Musk's manipulation of impressions is a flawed metric of problems that cannot be verified by outsiders.

Elon Musk’s Twitter bans numerous journalists without explanation
New York CNN —
Twitter on Thursday evening banned the accounts of several high-profile journalists from top news organizations without explanation, apparently marking a significant attempt by new owner Elon Musk to wield his unilateral authority over the platform.
The bans raised a number of questions about the future of the platform, which has been referred to as a digital town square.
It also called into serious question Musk’s supposed commitment to free speech.
Musk has repeatedly said he would like to permit all legal speech on the platform; in April, on the same day he announced he would purchase Twitter, he had tweeted: “I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means.”
Nazi-style Fascism rearing its ugly head and fully supported, even cheered by the right
Of course the MAGA-morons all across America on various cable, website, and social media will hold their noses and try and justify this.....

Elon Musk’s Twitter bans numerous journalists without explanation
Musk is no freedom hero. He is a censorship villain. Action speaks louder than words. He threatens legal action against employees who speak to media. Banning journalists for doing their job is not the free speech that Musk promised. News report that twitter is failing to pay rent and severance for laid-off employees.

@kcblitzkrieg Post 9 Aside from that who cares what a partisan kid thinks? Elon is an abusive smug condescending jerk. He is partisan as much as Don Lemon is for CNN, neither bring much of value to the table.Aside from his obvious biases I just dislike abusive people, he is a horrible example and is a political divider, I see no truth coming from him of any kind. Truth is not partisan, truth is not blanket biases and truth has no agenda....

The radical lib meltdown continues in all it's glory..... can't find the irony in "evening out the playing" fields when what is currently happening is the same as what was happening under previous Twitter regime....only the sides have flipped so the libs are GETTING THE SAME TREATMENT AS THE REST OF THE CROWD. I thought you guys were all about INCLUSION and ACCEPTANCE....why all the HATE !?!?
and the botbuddy crowd in hear can't take it
Oh the sweet salty tears of sadness and despair
It's very funny and amusing when you clowns post things as facts when you haven't even USED the Twitter platform, past or present. I could copy & paste the true facts in response to all this misinformation but it would be better for the clownposse to improve their minds by READING and EDUCATING yourselves. Seriously, go get on Twitter and live a little. You will learn some things, you will be more educated in the view of the world and life. I am helping you with this advice. Help yourself, be better.
