Twitter Says It's Cracking Down on Hate Speech (usatoday.com)
With public backlash growing, Twitter says it's taking steps to crack down on hate speech, from making it easier to report alleged incidents on the social media service to educating moderators on what kind of conduct violates the rules. From a report on USA Today: Twitter users will also gain more control over their experience on Twitter with the ability to mute words and phrases, even entire conversations, if they don't want to receive notifications about them, said Del Harvey, Twitter's head of safety. The effort comes as an uptick in biased graffiti, assaults and other incidents have been reported in the news and on social media since Election Day, prompting president-elect Donald Trump to call for people to "stop it" during a 60 Minutes interview on Sunday night. The FBI reports that hate crimes rose 7% in 2015, led by attacks on Muslim Americans.
Want to get rid of most hate speech? Just delete Trump's account. Calling Mexicans rapists is the textbook definition of hate speech. They won't have the balls to do it, though.
entropy happens
I am.
These racist idiots aren't giving me a lot of reasons to be proud.
Although if the black community has to answer for black on black crime, then the White crime. That's how I feel. So yes, I am ashamed that idiots that I knew growing up continue to be race hating morons.
It's hard to tell my girlfriend that the idiot who told her to go back to her country, is an isolated incident.
Place something witty here
All the hate has been from the Democrats and Soros paid demonstrators.
Stop pointing finger to a group you are against. The hate came from BOTH SIDES but in different ways.
Adams was shadowbanned.
No he wasn't.
Someone else already corrected you.
No they didn't.
