Jump In Twitter Hate Speech Is Unprecedented, Researchers Find

LOADING ERROR LOADING Researchers have found that the increase in hate speech on Twitter under new owner Elon Musk has never been bigger on the social media platform. Musk last month allowed tweets back on Twitter by Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, whose account had been restricted in October over antisemitic messages. It was unclear if the antisemitic rapper’s exile is permanent, even after he announced on Alex Jones’ podcast Thursday that he “likes Hitler” and “loves Nazis.” Musk on Thursday night allowed possibly the most notorious neo-Nazi in America back on Twitter after being blocked for nearly a decade. “Elon Musk sent up the Bat Signal to every kind of racist, misogynist and homophobe that Twitter was open for business,” Imran Ahmed, founder and CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, told the Times.
