Hate speech on X spiked in the months after Elon Musk's purchase, study finds

The Hindu  

Hate speech on the social media platform 'X' spiked by almost 50% in the months following Elon Musk’s purchase, compared to the months prior, a new analysis has shown. The findings, published in the journal PLOS One, provide supporting evidence, while also pointing out trends in hate speech and bot accounts throughout Mr. Musk's tenure. Analysing hate speech in the English language and inauthentic activity on X during the period, the researchers found that hate speech spiked just before Musk's purchase, continuing at a weekly rate 50% higher than in the months prior. Measuring inauthentic accounts on the social media platform, the authors found "no reduction in activity by these users after Mr. Musk purchased X," pointing to potentially negative outcomes, including scams, interference in elections, and harm to public health campaigns.
