OVER 50,000 SLURS ON TWITTER TO TEST SAFETY RULES UNDER ELON MUSK
An systematized trolling crusade twittering slurs knockouts of thousands of times tested Twitter’s temperance programs after the platform was taken over by billionaire Elon Musk, its safety chief said Saturday, adding that the rules” haven’t changed.”
Hours after the preemption by tone- declared” free speech absolutist” Musk late Thursday, far-right voices celebrated what they said was their recently- reclaimed right to free speech with posts questioning ambisexual identity and masks, ethnical slurs and other depreciatory terms.
But” Twitter’s programs have not changed. spiteful conduct has no place then. And we are taking way to put a stop to an systematized trouble to make people suppose we have,” twittered the platform’s chief of safety and integrity, Yoel Roth.Roth said that over the last 48 hours” we’ve seen a small number of accounts post a ton of Tweets that include slurs and other depreciatory terms.”
To give you a sense of scale further than,000 Tweets constantly using a particular slur came from just 300 accounts,” he continuedNearly all” of the accounts are fake, he said.We have taken action to ban the druggies involved in this trolling crusade- and are going to continue working to address this in the days to come to make Twitter safe and drinking for everyone.”
Roth also retweeted a Musk post in which the Tesla chief reiterated that” we haven’t yet made any changes to Twitter’s content temperance programs.It’s the” yet” that’s making numerous of the platform’s druggies nervous about the direction in which Musk wants to take Twitter, one of the leading platforms for global converse and tactfulness.
Musk has pledged to telephone back happy temperance, counting further on computer algorithms than mortal observers. rightists say past temperance has unfairly targeted their views.But detractors advise that without norms, the world’s” digital city forecourt” is at threat of getting a free- for- all of misinformation, with conceivably dangerous consequences for republic and public health.
