Twitter Head Of Safety And Integrity Warns Of “Organized Effort” On Hateful Conduct

deadline.com:

Responding to reports that unknown factions are increasing efforts to post racial slurs, initiate trolling, and engage in “hateful conduct,” Twitter’s Head of Security & Integrity has warned the service is “taking steps” to combat any such organized movement.

Since Elon Musk’s takeover of the service, those opposed to his vow to increase free speech on the platform have reportedly increased their presence on several hot-button political accounts.

Thousands of the accounts are brand new to Twitter. Presumably, the goal would be to flood those accounts with inciting content, thereby creating the impression that a “hellscape” is being created under Musk’s guidance, something the new owner has told advertisers he will work to avoid.

Earllier, research from a liberal-oriented firm has claimed an exponential rise in racial slurs on the site in the wake of Musk’s purchase.
