Anti-Hate Group: Twitter/X Allows 86% Of Hateful Posts

September 13, 2023 Business, Social Media

The Center On Countering Digital Hate reports:

New research by CCDH shows that X (formerly Twitter) continues to host nearly 86% of a set of 300 hateful posts after a week since we reported them. As of September 7th 2023, tweets promoting and glorifying antisemitism, anti-Black racism, neo-Nazism, white supremacy and/or other racism were still up.

CCDH also found dozens of advertisements for household brands, such as Apple and Disney, appearing next to hate speech – despite X CEO Linda Yaccarino’s claims to have “built brand safety and content moderation tools that have never existed before at this company”.

Researchers collected a sample of 300 posts, which were categorized as containing hate speech from 100 accounts (three posts per account). A week after the posts were reported to moderators (on August 30 and 31) via official reporting tools, researchers found that X left up 259 of 300 posts (86%).

90 of 100 accounts also remained active. Each post was in clear violation of at least one of X’s policies against hateful conduct, which prohibit incitement and harassment of others on the basis of protected characteristics.

Last month Musk sued this group.
