How hate speech and conspiracies are thriving on Elon Musk’s Twitter

The Hindu  

Recently, there have been many spelling mistakes in the tweets of Twitter users debating controversial subjects like religion, terrorism, crime, and yes, even Indian history. The word “Ola,” which refers to the Indian ride-hailing service, was used in place of “Allah.” The tweet was posted after CEO Elon Musk’s $44 billion takeover of Twitter. Distortions of hate Some of the common hate speech distortions are — ‘beeph eaters’: a derogatory term used to refer to Muslims, by distorting the word ‘beef’; ‘muzlim’: a distortion of the word ‘Muslim’; ‘Is!am’: a distortion of ‘Islam,’ which fools Twitter’s search filter by bringing up results for “isam” or “is am”; ‘peaceful/peacefuls’: a word used in place of ‘Muslim,’ to avoid being flagged for hate speech; and ‘rice bag’: a derogatory phrase referring to India’s religious minorities, referencing the bigoted stereotype that they left Hinduism in exchange for a “rice bag” or economic benefits. Furthermore, on April 17, the Twitter Safety team announced its new approach to content moderation, called “Freedom of Speech, Not Reach.” This policy would leave up select tweets that violate Twitter’s Hateful Conduct Policy but filter their visibility by adding a label flagging them as potential violations. Twitter’s Hateful Conduct policy says that users cannot “directly attack” others based on “race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.” However, the new “freedom of speech, not reach” policy would mean that some tweets violating these principles will be allowed to remain on Twitter.
