X (Twitter) Failed to Act on 86% of Hate Speech Posts, Researchers Say
The reported posts included content that denied the Holocaust and promoted white supremacy. In response, Musk called the researchers a "bronze tier psy ops."
Wait, I'm shocked Xitter had numbers as high as 14% when it comes to dealing with hate speech...
Once reported an obvious anti-Semitic post that I found (was curious if they actually would). Took them a week or two but they actually took it down. I was shocked.
Twitter, as far as I have recalled, has almost always been a cesspool for hot takes and hate. Just with Elon in charge the flood gates have really opened and has acquired a particular flavor mimicking his own tastes.
The real question now is if this will ultimately lead to the ban or slow death of Twitter. People really can only put up with so much vitriol.
Many countries are lining up with laws and bill coming after social media, usually under the goal or "goal" of protecting kids, so we will see how things turn out. Might even be a quicker death/change then.
Actually they'll use anything they can to get that same fix twitter delivered before. The quality doesn't matter if it's their only outlet. Until a new app arrives to replace it, nothing will kill it. It's like Davy Jones' heart.
Working as intended apparently, what a dumpster fire
Of course they did.
Hey, they did managed to react on my hate speech posts.. against v.putin. Rather quickly too. So yeah, if you are a dictator, its all Gucci.

At the same time

According to Elon musk, it's a feature, not a bug.
That seems low.
That's good isn't it? That only means that Elon decensored that platform
Do explain how more Nazis is a good thing.
Except when elon doesn't like what you write. Then the free speech isn't that free any more
Depends on your understanding of free and uncensored speech. I think that's different between the US and most of the world as a lot of countries never had the same total free speech policy and have always criminalised hate speech.
This is true both before and after it was owned by musk, it just went from left wing hate speech to right wing hate speech
What is "left wing hate speech?"
Those billionaires have too much money and people should be able to afford a one bedroom apartment on a full time minimum wage job!

There were a lot of shitty takes from the left on pre-Musk twitter, but shit takes are not the same as blaming a whole race of people for all the world's financial ills or denying historical fact of genocidal events.
